You're invited...

Lollipop invitations (yes, I actually made them!)

Warning: This post contains a large amount of SWEET pictures!

Can you guess the theme of Natalie's party?

It's a Sweet Shoppe!!!

This party was as fun and sweet as it looks!


Guests were greeted by this sign at our front door:


Before you get too impressed with this amazing party, I had to give credit to my friend Nikki at the Salty Pineapple for giving me this cute idea for a party! I pretty much stole all her ideas :)

First, the girls each got to make a cute bracelet

(poor Nathan - this part was so boring for him!)

Me & my SWEET girl!

Next, we played Tootsie Roll bowling...

Nathan was more than happy to demonstrate how to play to all the girls

Strike!!!

After that we played "pin the stick on the lollipop"

I had straws with each child's name on it for them to use

Natalie painted the lollipop to match the invitations. It was a big hit!!

Then it was on to "gummy ring toss" which we had to move indoors due to the cold, rainy day outside. The kids didn't seem to mind!

(can you see Nathan and his good friend Everette in these pics hanging out together? Natalie told Nathan he could have ONE friend at the party and these 2 boys didn't mind all the girls as long as they got to play too!)

Anxiously waiting for treats...

They each got a bag to put their "tokens" in that they received after each game. The tokens said "Redeem one scoop" and they got to turn them in at the treats table. Cuteness!!

Dan's main job at the party - light the candles!

I wish I had taken a close-up of the cupcake cones, it was my first time to make them and I think they turned out adorable!

Make a wish!

Time for treats!

And in case you wondered where Tyler was during this party...

Hanging out on the couch - poor guy wasn't feeling too good, but he still gave me a smile :)

A few of the dads stayed for the party and had their own kind of party - high tech!

Once the kids had their fill of sugar (their parents were super happy about that)...

it was time to open gifts!

Natalie was so timid opening her presents in front of everyone, but she loved every single thing she got and felt so special to have such thoughtful friends.

The SWEET Girls!!!!

Enjoying a lollipop :)

What a FUN, amazing, sweet, fabulous party!!!!
