Winter Wonderland

My most favorite time of the year is during the holiday season! The beautiful decorations, the cheer in everyone's faces and the unity of family and friends are some of many reasons that I love this season.

 

I had the honor, along with the beautiful women in my family, to put together a Winter Wonderland themed baby shower for my cousin (who moved over 300 miles away from us for college and never returned). We wanted to surprise her, so we had to plan strategically and select a date around the holidays so that we were certain that she would be here to visit.

 

As planned, two days after Christmas, my cousin invited her over for a spontaneous lunch at his house. When she showed up, we were all ready to surprise her, a little confused (because she thought we were all there for lunch), she reacted late, but nonetheless she loved everything!

 

The surprise did not stop there! As I mentioned above, she lived miles away from us now and her boyfriend was unable to accompany her for the holidays. Easy fix! We flew him over for the day so that he could spend a few hours with her during her baby shower celebration! She had no clue and burst into tears when she saw him walk into the party. Alas, the baby shower was complete!!!

 

Now that you all know the beautiful story behind this event, below are a few photos of the event.

Lets Build a Lego Party

At last, I get to share with you all the latest party that I had been working on!

Below is the cake table, decorated with colorful balloons and a detailed banner. Oh! and let's not forget about the Lego ninja pinata.

Now on to the details:

The utensils were placed in this cube created by using various sized legos. Cute touch to the simplicity of displaying utensils!

The centerpieces were created by using the same technique as the utensil holder, except we added a number 6 (for the age) and these cute cutouts of lego heads!

Cake table details:

We purchased these gift bags from our local craft store (lucky for us, they all came in one pack). We cut out 6 circles to place on each bag to mimic a lego piece. Lastly, we added a small tag that said "Thanks!" onto the handle of the bag.

We found these cute tins at our local craft store and decided we would fill them with lego candy and draw expressive faces on them!

They turned out to be a hit!

Lastly, the cake!

It was designed with no specific theme, just general lego. White cake with strawberry custard filling inside (if I may add)!
