On Saturday, my son Miles had his birthday party at the Imax theatre. We initially had a hubble in 3d movie party at the imax... and at the last minute.. the theatre changed the movie to shrek!!!! i had a whole rocket ship theme going.. even our invite which i will show you later this week was a very very cool rocket invite that my husband ken created!! So .. such is life.. and we switch our plans to see Shrek in 3d.
My mom catered the party with her delicious chicken and macaroni salad and fruit.
and my auntie naomi made finger jell-o in shrek colors.
everything was delicious.
we also had a shrek candy bar. I got all of the nostalgic old fashioned candies from when i was young... and made up shrek names for the candy labels.
i used an old fashioned story book font and made miles his own blend of chocolate. The chocolate bars are from Trader joe's.. if you just peel off the top wrapper.. the second layer is foil.. so you can use whatever cardstock you want to cover the candy. the punch is a new "real estate" punch by EK success. I love this punch, you will see it many times over in our card samples.
there were several varieties of candy -- this one is tootise rolls in green apple. i called them leeches on a log.
old fashioned rock candies...
red vine licorice.
old fashioned twister lollies...
everyone seemed to have a good time. When the movie started.. each child was given a small popcorn, drink and more candy!
No one really had any room for fruit basket cake from Freeport bakery! of course.. i had a piece!
Miles' Shrektacular party ended in singing happy birthday.. and of course...
blowing out all 5 candles!! Happy birthday miles.. mommy and daddy love you!
WOW!!! What a wonderful party Stephanie!!!! What a lucky little boy you have! Everything looked sooo good!!! Hey..do you have cake leftovers? I loooooove that bakery! That is what we usually get there too, really yummy!
