Kaylee's Ice Cream Shoppe 4th Birthday Party!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!

My best friend, Kristi came to me a few weeks ago and confessed that she was thinking about having her daughter's 4th birthday party at a local pizza/gaming place. My husband was quite excited as this place serves his favorite pizza, and beer. :) She just wasn't sure if she was up for hosting at her home and wanted something simple and easy.
I just couldn't allow the pizza joint party.
Not when she has a party planning/invitation designing girl for a best friend...Not to mention, one who loves to make her "nieces" parties fabulous! (Remember this one?)
So....in came the idea for a simple & sweet ice cream social!
ENJOY!

  9. What an awesome "aunt" you are! I love the pic of the bowl of just toppings - m&m's, gummi bears,sprinkles and a cherry. Who is this child that doesn't like ice cream? Better get them to a doctor quick! Hehe!

  14. So beautiful and missing all the wonderful parties I use to put
    together for my kids when they were little. They don't want my parties anymore, just the money for more expensive gifts. My kids never wanted a party at a skating ring or bowling alley, they wanted mom's parties and so did the other moms and kids. In fact the kids, use to ask my kids if they were going to be invited each year and what was the theme. You do beautiful work and should be proud. My kids still talk about those parties!

  15. Hmmm. not sure which I like better - the party or Kaylee's stunning hair!
    Both are perfectly wonderful!

  20. Gymboree just released a new line--popsicles and ice cream! It would be perfect to go with this theme. Makes me wish my daughter had stuck with an ice cream theme for her 4th coming up next month.
