Howdy!
It's been rough going in my household the last week, hence the lack of postings. Last week when my boys began complaining of sore throats and runny noses I repeatedly chanted to myself, "I will not get sick" - right up to the moment I got sick. Ugh...
But we pushed through because we had a birthday to celebrate! Our little boy Sawyer turned the BIG 2 last Thursday; leaving baby hood behind and becoming an official toddler. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with a football theme based around the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Here is what the invitation looked like (all the party details were on the back of the invite):

Stamp sets: Delightful Dozen
Cardstock: Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip, Gumball Green, Tempting Turquoise

Here are a few of the pictures of the party:
Rider Jersey Cake!
Rider fan's have a weird obsession with wearing Watermelon's as helmets so this was a perfect table centerpiece!
Lime Koolaid turned out to be the perfect shade of Rider green! I printed quick labels on computer paper and taped them to each water bottle.
Recognize these? I painted plastic Easter eggs that hinge open to look like little footballs. Small caramel treats were hidden inside.
Mmmmm.....sugar cookie footballs were a hit!
The party crowd ready for some cake :)
