Party Recap
We celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday with an apple theme because she is the apple of our eye. I had a custom built apple tree & a DIY caramel apple bar. We also had wonderful food, crafts, a movie,& 4 different kinds of cake. All of the decorations were diy, even the wish tree I cut down myself. We had so much fun! What a year it has been.

the crescent cafe
venue
I LOVE renting this banquet room. It is $40 & you have the option to have them cater, order from their menu, or bring in your own food. If you let them provide the food, the $40 is waived. It's HUGE. Plenty of natural light, tables, chairs, and room to move. I just can't say enough great things about this placehttp://thecrescentcafe.blogspot.com
