Now here's the downside to the party - where are all my adorable food pictures? That's what I LIVE for, right?? Yes. But as soon as I set all the food out on my adorably decorated/bannered Chicago Bears tables, it started to rain.... Then POUR. Yep, all before I even took one picture. Maybe, just maybe my feelings were hurt. But of course there was no time for tears, I had to gather all the food back up and take in inside - where it did NOT look adorable enough to take pictures of (seriously, even my awesome "Jay Cutlery" sign on the silverware got ruined - it wasn't pretty).
But, despite the rain, the party was AWESOME! That's because a bunch of 6 year olds don't care about getting wet - they played out in the rain anyway for hours. It was absolutely super. Unfortunately most of the pics I took have other people's children in them and I don't want to post those without their permission, but here's one with the sweet happy birthday boy:
One more shot of the desserts (seriously, desserts are one of the easiest ways to "theme" up any party - they're almost like decorations in themselves, but then people EAT them so you don't have to clean them up or store them after the party! Win!)
