Mason does the MONKEY! Blaise gets a little cuddle from Grandma!

And one more froggie photo. Come on… do hats get any more adorable than this??? No way.

Happy Wednesday!

Candyland style!!!

Tin Details:

1. Outside: spray paint + personalized photograph of vintage Candyland kids! I used photoshop to add party details.
2. Inside the tin lid is a photograph of my favorite character Jolly.  How can you not love a Jolly?
3. Party details (date-time-place) are on recycled Candyland game cards.  I’ve been collecting used games at garage sales–  buck a piece!
4. Each tin is bit different, but they are all jammed packed with a variety of treats and game pieces.
5. The tins don’t open and close easily after a coat of paint— bummer!

is the sign of a dull life.  Or at least that’s what I tell myself!

A nostalgic little snippet from Mason’s FIRST!

His birthday postcard:

We only have one birthday tradition in our house.

The cake smash.

We love the smash.

Never too young (or old) for a little cake in the face!

 

Last night we had a simple celebration. Candy Land is coming in a couple WEEKS!

Mason you are my sunshine.

You came into this world five years ago.

Fast and Ferocious

We barely made it to the birthing center

before you zoomed into this world.

That’s how you live life.

Energetic. Ball of fun-filled fire. Wondrous.

Your never-ending zest for life leaves me breathless.

Thank you for being my son.  I am honored.

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy.
