One SWEET Birthday!

Adalyn recently discovered the game Candyland and has become quite obsessed with it (we play at least 10 times a day)! It hit me one day... What a fun birthday party this would be! So I asked her what she thought, and the decision was made! From there the plans began, and I will admit it turned into a snowball effect! But it was totally worth it! She had such a great time and it turned out to be a great day! So sit back, there are a lot of pictures ahead! Here we go...

Addie's friends arrived and we got a quick picture of the group...















Then we headed out to the backyard where a life-sized Candyland game was set up. First stop... The Gingerbread Tree!














Here the kids decorated gingerbread cookies...














Next stop... Peppermint Forest! Here the kids got a candy cane from Mr. Mint...




























Then we headed off to Lollipop Woods where the kids sat down to make foam lollipops...














After that we made our way to Gumdrop Mountains where we played bean bag toss and croquet...














We ended the game at Adalyn's Candyland where the kids filled up on all the sugar they could possibly get!














Then we opened presents and sang...














After Adalyn's friends headed home we had family over for dinner...














Where Quincy sneaked as much candy and treats as she could get away with!














We opened more presents...














And with the overload of sweets we decided cake would really be over the top. But we had to have something to put candles on...

That's right... Playdough icecream. It was the perfect way to end such a SWEET day! Our SWEET little girl is 4 and we loved celebrating her birthday. Thanks to all our family and friends who helped us celebrate! And a special thanks to my baby sis for finding all the supplies to make this party so fun!
