Fishy Fun Birthday Party...

this was the invite i designed for brody's "fishy" birthday party!



super cute birthday boy! brody's actual birth "date" is the 30th - but we figured with his birthday being over memorial day weekend it would be a good idea to do it the weekend before. it turned out great and we had so much fun!



just a few of our friends that i actually got pictures of... neal and kelli - kendall and ryan



statistics friends! tyson has some of the best classmates! we are so glad they are our friends and that they love brody so much!



heather and jayden and elisa and gwen



we played a couple of fun games!

we did "GO FISHING"...it was a huge hit with the kiddos. When they "fished" they caught a beach ball and some fishy stickers. They loved it!



ellie and amelia "fishing"...



and of course Brody LOVED it! So fun.



then we had a PINATA! A Pinata that Tyson and I made. Actually we should really give Tyson all the credit, I kinda directed him in what to do and he did it. I just made the fin and eye balls. Shoot, for our first time making one and doing it at 1 am...we think it turned out pretty great! and EVERYONE loved it! After all the kids took turns, the adults all took turns, it actually took quite a while to finally break the thing open. It was awesome!!



hitting the fishy...



and once again...of course Brody LOVED this game as well!



a cute shot of my little bear just waiting his turn to hit the Fishy Pianta again. Love him!



after games...it was CAKE TIME!



we love our brody bear



singing happy birthday...



here we go...



oh so yummy!! he loved every minute of it! he's totally our kid, and we know he takes after me...he LOVES frosting! Thata boy!



as far as decorations went...i made a bunch of fish from melted crayons that i hung all around...the picture isnt very good, but they turned out really cool. i'm a big fan!



i also made little cake stands for fish bowls to go on and we put real fishys in the bowls. it was magical! i was obsessed with how cool it looked. next to the fish bowls i had mason jars filled with white flowers. it looked really good.



cute stands with cute fish bowls!



BEST part about the Fish...everyone took a fish bowl home with them with some fishys! how fun, huh? EVERYONE loved that part! and I am happy everyone wanted to take one home with them. From what I hear ...a week later...most everyones fishys have died. What is it with gold fish? oh well. it was still fabulous!



Food! of course I was horrible at taking pictures of the food too. Opps. but it was tasty!

Our Lunch Menu consisted of:

*Make your own: Ham or Turkey Sandwhich on Potatoe Rolls

*Condiments consisted of : mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomatoe, cheese and pickles

*Pasta Salad

*Gold FISH crackers and Gold FISH preztels

*Peanut Butter and Rasberry Jam FISHY sandwhiches on White and Wheat bread (i used a fishy cookie cutter and cut out fishys and then made the sandwhiches, they were a huge hit!)

*Finding Nemo FISHY fruit snacks

*Fruit Kabobs with Marshallow Fluff/Cream Cheese dip (yummy!)



We also had a de-lish dessert table as well...



The Dessert Table Menu:

*Chocolate and Yellow Cupcakes with Butter Cream Frosting

*THE BEST Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

*One huge Candy Jar full of Swedish FISH and another Jar of Red Vines

* One bowl of Resses Peanut Butter Cups and another bowl of Almond Joys (i went with candy that had colors of our party, blue for the almond joys and orange for the reeses)

*Caramel Chocolate dipped Marshallow Pops

*And of course The Most Amazing BIRTHDAY cake

*I also had little baggies that everyone could fill up with candy to take home with them.

we also had a delightful spread of drinks to choose from as well...



i LOVE these labels that I made for the water bottles. and I mean hello! what party isnt complete without a label for the water bottles. ha. i guess they're like the new big thing at parties! i am so okay with that. just following the trend people! i love me a fun water bottle!



and of course the CAKE! It was SPECTACULAR! I designed it and the bakery ladies did such a great job at doing what I asked. It was a simple design, so I wasnt too afraid they would mess up. It turned out better than I imagined! and on top of how cute it looks, it TASTED even better! yum!



What a Beautiful day it was! We had a "FIN"tastic time! Over all it was the BEST 1st Birthday Party, I've ever been too!
We Love our Birthday Boy!!



winding down, ready to go home! THANKS again to everyone who came and made Brody's Party so Special!

THE END.
