...the Golden Birthday...part 2...

...first I went to the party store and bought every gold thing they had...just teasing...they had more gold stuff than this...
...and we hung up the little gold birthday cakes...
...at the entrance to the dining room...
...and put some of the little gold streamers over the lights...
...and a gold Happy Birthday garland over the door...

...a gold tablecloth, plates, napkins and cups too...
...then I filled some little organza bags (actually, I think they're pale yellow or cream) with a few gold wrapped candies as a party favor...
...and put those in a pretty glass bowl...
...and we saved one of the little bags for some gold one dollar coins...15 of them...
...and made a golden birthday card...
...with a sweet little saying inside...
...got out the golden cake...
...and put on 15 golden candles...
...unwrapped the cupcakes...
...and set the table with all the party foods...

...the Giant Sub and fixin's are from Subway...there are chips and a black bean and corn salsa...and my Mom's 3 bean salad recipe...and a big bowl of punch like the one we had at the Christmas Party...except with pineapple juice and Sprite instead of grape juice and gingerale...and no cranberries...
...we just used the coffee table in the living room for gifts and cards...
...Scout lit his own Birthday candles...
...and then, blew them out...
...then opening all the cards and presents...
...lots of hugs and well wishes...

...it was a great Golden party!

~Have a lovely day!

  4. Don't know why it sometimes post my comment twice and I don't know how to delete the duplicate. Sorry. MOM

  5. You tell us that you were only teasing!

    Lovely party, Scout 15 - how amazing is that - it doesn't seem five minutes since he was a pre teen.
