Caleb in Candyland
















Today was Caleb's 3rd birthday party. I did a Candyland theme stolen straight from Hostess with the Mostess. I spent weeks planning this. If you know me, you know I'm a planner. I make lists, I do research. I looked forever to find plastic jars instead of glass for the candy buffet to be kid safe. I found a low table to be kid sized. I mean, I think of everything. Well, almost. I missed one little detail. I made these adorable candy pieces using paper lanterns and cellophane. The plan was to hang them from the ceiling below the candy buffet and cupcake table. It was supposed to be a bright colorful true Candyland but...... the party was at Holly's house and it didn't even enter my mind that she has high ceilings. We didn't have a ladder and coudn't reach the ceilings. We ended up hanging them in doorway arches and other low places throughout the house. I don't think the kids noticed though, nor would they have cared. Caleb had a great time, got lot's of presents. All the kids were so cute. Now I must focus my attention on Colten's 1st birthday pool party in May. Hum, what shall I do?
