well almost two weeks later and i've finally gotten to doing this post for harper + tanner's ice cream birthday party!
we had just the best time celebrating that day and it was all so much fun!
they've now been FOUR & TWO for almost two weeks now!!
time is a thief and they are growing up so so quickly.
but it also somehow keeps on getting better.
just a bit before the party was about to start, i went and grabbed my big camera to quick snap some pics before the party got started. the darn thing wouldn't turn on. battery dead.
annoying, but iphone did just fine too ;)
this party, among the birthday parties we've done over the last few years, has been the easiest for setup and made for a rush-free, stress-free, time before the party.
which we all could appreciate!
#1 contributing factor to that:: i hardly made any of the food.
normally i make it all and do it all. and as much as i've loved making the cake/cupcakes, ect... this year it was so nice! i had the cakes & cookies done by some awesome local people (i'll link to them at the end of the post for reference!) and they turned out soooo well!! i couldn't be happier. and then the ice cream too was purchased from a local ice cream shop who makes THEE BEST handmade ice cream!
that all being said...
the balloon garland was one exception to the 'quick & easy'...
simple:: yes
time consuming:: YES ;)
though it truly isn't complicated to do! i am NOT a crafty/diy person ;)

(i saved a post on my pinterest for reference on the DIY steps to balloon garland making)
i had the best time hunting down all the little details for this party.
keeping it fun and colorful, yet still 'boy' appropriate was my goal. the challenges of having a boy and a girl with the same birthday. we don't even consider princess parties or truck parties. yet ;)
but i'm happy to say it turned out just as i had hoped! and our gender neutral party came together so so well!
harper + tanner, we all love you two.
and LOVE celebrating you together!!
how special it is that you get to share something together that is so so rare, your birthdays!!
we love you, sweet birthday twins of ours!!
