Dueling Birthday Parties




This year, because the kids birthdays were so close, we decided to do a two for one birthday party. Penny was turning 1 and Finn was turning 3. So we decided on a Owl and Airplane Themed party. It was split down the middle for the two kids and their respective themes (as seen in the invites that we sent out). Here is the cake that I made for the party... and airplane in honor of my sweet boy. And of course, I don't have a photo of him with it... but that's ok, I suppose. It was super tasty though!!


Here is our duel table of party items... And as I tried to get things set out on the day of the party, I didn't realize that I hadn't taken a photo of the complete layout... stinky! Well, just imagine small sandwiches of turkey and cranberry, a veggie plate and vegan pasta salad. I also had hummas and chips as well for our guests.





Balloons all around for the party guests... they all got to take one home when they left. That was fun!

We did an owl craft and an airplane craft. It was pretty fun. But to get all four kids looking one way was nearly impossible for the photo!! :)
Cake Time!! We sang and cut the cake. Penny wasn't nearly as distructive with the cake as she was on her real birthday.


Our airplane race was exciting. But not everyone wanted to be involved, so Juliette and Finn took a couple of turns.

This is sweet Ashley singing to Finnegan for his birthday.
Part of our treats to send home... since we were celebrating 2 birthdays, we didn't think we could have 2 cakes without having too much left over. So we sent cupcakes in a jar home with our guests to enjoy later too.



Happy Birthday, Monkeys! I hope you had a wonderful day! Planning and hosting your party was so much fun!! I love you both!
