The Shindig

Today was such a wonderful day! Isn't it great when you can say that? We had Kyan's 2nd birthday party and really, it couldn't have gone any better. Prepare for a very photo-y post!

The two cakes, one for Kyan and the other for his friend Alicia. I kept the cakes very simple-just a plain sponge with butter icing.

My dear friend Margie (Alicia's Mum) procured a Western saddle and it even had the number 2 on it! How cool is that?

Jumping hay bales- so much fun! They also made excellent seating, baby lying spots and climbing frames...

Cowboy cupcakes, inspired by this article in Littles Magazine.

All the cake making supplies came from Kiwicakes, if you're having a party, I can definately reccommend them, fabulous products, prompt delivery and excellent service.

Our goodie bags for the little guests to take home were plain paper bags with a little Thank-You note tied on with string.

"Buttons" the pony (yes really...)

Horsey sandwiches

Sherrif badge biscuits...

"Red Indian" feather headresses...

my cupcake cowboys and cacti...

Such a wonderful day. And now I can sit with a cup of tea and enjoy the peace and quiet as my children sleep soundly, after a day of fun and fresh air!
