Last year for Curiosity Day, we had Curious George visit for a Story. I made some George masks and had a table with books and coloring/activity pages, but that was it. We had over 100 come, so this year I wanted to kick it up a notch. I wasn't satisfied with any of the Curious George crafts I found on Pinterest, so I made this accordion limb George craft: I pre-cut the t-shirts and faces and brown strips for arms and legs. The kids could color and assemble. Here is a template. We used the Cray

Throwing a Trolls party, or any themed party, can be expensive. Here are some tips to creating a great look without a huge price tag.

Sue and I may be twins but we have totally different ideas on how to celebrate our 43 birthday. Sue is a die hard Disney fan and I'm all about sharks (read: Sharknado, Sharktopus) We decided to compromise and hold a half shark party and half Disney party. We wanted to share our fun and easy ideas for both parties with everyone. Some of the photos we will link to other posts where we will have recipes and/or how-to's. If you have questions on how we made anything, please feel free to leave us a comment or question in the comment section below. First up THE SHARK PARTY: Sue made me my cake - this awesome Shark Attack Cake. She even put a photo of me on the doll. I admit it. Sue comes up with some fun-tastic ideas sometimes. One of the cutest shark party treats was this Bagel and Cream Cheese Snorkeler. (Click HERE for the how-to and recipe) He was super easy and super tasty! This guy isn't a shark but he is a scary water related monster soooooo.... he counts towards the shark party half of the party. I carved this cucumber shark to put on the veggie tray. I thought he turned out pretty great. He only took a few minutes - the hardest part was carving all those spooky teeth. Speaking of teeth.... How about some (mozzarella) shark teeth. Doesn't get much simpler than that. Speaking of simple --- toss some shrimp in some seafood sauce and you have the perfect shark bait. Sue and I worked together to carve this watermelon shark. Another quick and easy addition to the shark party. What shark wouldn't love to dive into a bowl of goldfish crackers? (This beautiful wood shark is Gary, my niece, Kenzie, brought him back from Cuba for me!) Delicious gummy sharks from Orientaltrading.com. So Yummy. And some after dinner mints with a shark twist go perfectly. Another Orientaltrading.com purchase. Adorable shark cups. They actually hold a lot and make you feel really cool while drinking out of them. To drink in the shark cups? Well, that would be Chum Punch, of course. (Otherwise known as lemon-aid, strawberries in syrup, grenadine, and ice.) I made a paper mache shark to act as a table center. He turned out pretty cute - except he kept getting into the snacks. Sneaking the shrimp and... He kept trying to eat our bagel guy. And of course, we had to have some sushi too. We all know how much sharks love sushi. There is the over view of the shark table. And now, on to THE DISNEY PARTY: Since Sue and I had to make each other's cakes, I decided to find something that was cute but not too, too difficult. Then I recruited our other sister, Orra, and our friend, Taylor, and we came up with this Ratatouille Cake. Doesn't he look adorable in the fridge sneaking some cheese? Sue was happy with him and that is all that matters! What's a Disney party without at least one reference to Cinderella? Sue made this Bread bowl carriage drawn by 2 fine steeds (dollar store finds). (Click HERE for our Spinach Dip Recipe) Pretty sure Cinderella would have preferred this ride. Sue has several Mickey shaped bowls. Chips and Dip in one.... Nachos and salsa in one.... And BBQ's Farmer's sausage in her casserole dish. All you need is some Pillsbury Pizza dough and a Mickey cookie cutter and you can whip up these Disney-rific Mickey Pizzas. Or these Mickey Mouse Sandwiches.... Or even these Mickey Mouse tortilla chips. One of my favorite Disney movies is Emperor's New Groove so I made some of Kronk's Spinach Puffs. A little fiddly with the filo pastry but otherwise tasty. To up the cuteness factor we made these Mike Wazowski Rice Krispie Treats. Super simple! All you need is the usual Rice Krispie ingredients plus some green food coloring and some candy eye balls. *Voila* Done. This one isn't immediately recognizable but it's supposed to be Rapunzel's braid. (From the movie Tangled). Those are pepper flowers in the braid. And there is an over view of the Disney table. Our mom gave us the beautiful flowers in the center for our birthday. Now.... what to do for next year's birthday.....

I promise that sometime soon I'll stop talking about Aiden's birthday. This will (maybe?) be the last time, until next year. 😉 We had Devin's family over one day and my family over the next, since our TINY living room can't really handle large parties! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and because we had smaller batches of people over, everyone got to spend more quality time with the birthday boy. If you want a small, low-key party to have time to hang out with your family/friends, here's what you do: 1. Invite only family. Or whatever small, close-knit bunch live near you. 2. If "just family" still means 20+ people, then have two smaller parties. We had Devin's family over one day and my family over the next. That way, everyone got to have more time with Aiden (and because the parties were back to back, we only had to clean our house once, instead of cleaning it one weekend and again the next!) 2. Do cake and ice cream. That's it. (And mention it on the invite "Join us for cake & ice cream at 3pm..." so everyone knows what to expect.) 3. If you must offer food, make it in the crockpot. (3 pounds of chicken + 1 bottle of BBQ sauce + lots of rolls. There ya go. BBQ pulled chicken.) 4. No elaborate themes--just pick 1 color to be the "theme." 5. Skimp on decorations. I bought $3 tissue paper and made these tassels, which corresponded to the color of paper plates and the color of Aiden's shirt. Everyone complimented me on the pretty "decor" and color scheme, but it really only took like 20 minutes to make those garlands. 6. If you must decorate more, use pictures from their first year of life. 4x6 prints are inexpensive (and everyone will love seeing pictures of the little one grow from TINY newborn to active one-year-old!). My friend Courtney (who does Wild Cedar Co. with me!) did an incredible job taking pictures of Aiden, and his "picture day" outfit just happened to match the party's color scheme. 7. People are the reason you gather, so the most important thing is that you relax and enjoy your time with the friends/family. What we spent (total, on 2 small parties): $3 tissue paper for garlands (and there was tons of tissue paper left over!) $3 printed photos $5 Target cake stand for free with a coupon they mailed us $12 of cake mix + frosting (2 cakes for us, 2 frostings, and a small cake mix for Aiden but he did nottt care about his cake at all!) $6 ice cream $15 drinks $1 sort-of coordinating thank-you notes ------------------ $40!! Have you been to any fun birthday parties recently? (For kids or otherwise 😉 )
