The twins' 3rd birthday party was last Saturday and it turned out great! I literally spent 3 months planning this thing and tried to have every detail mapped out.
I've mentioned that I think I have OCD before, right? LOL!
I took Friday off from work and had 10 things on my "To Do" list for the day.
Item #1 - the barn birthday cake.
Item #2 - one dozen animal themed cupcakes
I also started putting up some of the decorations that afternoon:
Saturday morning, I started prepping some of the food and finished decorating the main table. I purchased 3 yards of burlap for the table covering and bought a small haybale from Michael's. It's hard to see but it's in the back. And, there's the barn backdrop that I made a few weeks ago!
For food, I made barbeque pulled chicken in the crockpot, cole slaw, mac 'n cheese and pigs in a blanket. There were also many, many snacks available (all farm-themed, of course!)

There were also fun "rides"
We had a full house with 29 people!
Is it time to blow out the candles?

| I think I know who ate all of the Oreo cookies! |
The party ended way too fast but there were fun treats for the kids!
