Jada's Candyland Party

for my daughters 3rd birthday we planned a Candyland Party. I had been planning it since my son was born 3 years prior to her being born! We tailored the party after the traditional candyland game including spray painting our yard to look like a giant game board and buying giant game pieces as decorations online. Every game was tied to one of the special squares on the board (Gum Drop, Ice Cream Cone, Lollipop, Peanut, Candycane). All the decorations were home made. this party took me almost 6 months to complete but it came out just as I had envisioned it. My daughter and her friends had a blast - despite it being 102 degrees outside that day (that was the only bad part of the day).
