Jonah's 3rd Birthday

For this home birthday I made all the decor & invitations as well as a pull string cookie pinata. We kept the party to approx 90 mins which was perfect since we were indoors and had little ones everywhere! I organized the kids for the Cookie Toss game and then passed out musical instruments and led a sing-a-long; my birthday boy loves music:). We then had the kids eat, conducted a spoon race, broke open the pinata and packed up kids with their favors. It was simple but successful and the kids all had a wonderful time!

• What People Ate

  This was an afternoon party, so I set out a selection of chips, Ritz crackers, cheese & smoked turkey that I cut out to fit the Ritz crackers, grapes, strawberries, mini gherkins & Lil Smokies.

• What People Drank

  Juice boxes were provided for the kids as well as lemonade & water for adults

• Desserts

  Homemade chocolate covered pretzels, homemade chocolate chip cookies, and homemade birthday cake.

• Party Favors

  I purchased blue paper sacks at Dollar Tree and created a Cookie Monster face on the front: the bags were filled with sidewalk chalk, a rubber ducky, crazy straw, sheet of Sesame Street stickers and a homemade popsicle stick puzzle.
