I bought some inexpensive, black, crinkly curtains to hang as a backdrop behind the table which really set the mood. The pumpkins with the Mickey face were from K-mart and the black pedestals they are sitting on came from Marshalls.
The menu included Creamed Chicken Sandwich Sliders, 7-layer Salad, Vegetable tray, sliced apples with caramel dip, Cupcakes, White wine Sangria and sweet tea.
I set up a 4 foot long table in the living room for the gifts and decorated it with a Mickey Mouse dressed in a skeleton costume, again from K-mart and tulle streamers in Purple, Black and Lime Green. In front of the gift table I placed the table my girls used when they were little, this would be the seat for the Guest of Honor! Most of the pictures I took inside while he was opening his gift turned out all blurry, I don't know what was up with my camera, GRRR!
We were expecting 11 guests but ended up having 20! No problem, we had plenty of food and as they say, the more the merrier! I think the party was a success and I know my niece and her hubby appreciated all the work that went in to making it happen.
Whew, now I'm glad to get back to crafting for the Holidays and the upcoming apron swap I'm participating in. xxoo Nan

Wow that was one fancy party there with a lot of food. Looks like a lot of work for you more for the adults really as the kid will not recall this in the future lol..
ReplyDeleteGood morning Nan. I am so wishing I lived near you. That's quite a yummy looking spread you've got going on. And the decorations are so cute. You make it look so simple but I know the work and the money that go into it isn't. The Micky Halloween theme was just perfect. And that's one adorable boy and cute family.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for coming by and leaving comments. I just love (don't we all) to read them. I'm so glad someone else remembers those wonderful ballerinas like I do. I had tears in my eyes just thinking about your sweet story. Isn't it funny how some things from such a young age stick with us for our entire lives.
Hope you're having the best day. Hugs...Tracy :)
