Evan’s First Birthday: Food
I spent so much time painstakingly cutting out paper triangles, sewing yards of banner and hunting down just exactly the right font for my invitations that I completely forgot about providing food for Evan’s circus birthday party until the last minute. All I had planned was cake and candy and – although those are two of MY favorite food groups – I don’t think most people consider Pixie Stix and fondant a balanced meal. Also, I thought maybe giving all the kids an option besides SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR SUUUUUUUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAR would be a wise choice. I’m all about the wise choices.
I tried to stick with my circus/carnival theme, which made munchy, snacky food a good option. Here’s what we ended up with:
Popcorn
Hot dogs
Soft pretzels
Cotton candy
Nachos
Animal crackers
Fruit
Salt water taffy
Rita’s Italian Ice
Cake
Jones Soda
Pink and Yellow Lemonade
…and a whole bunch of random candy I used as decoration rather than food.

Srsly? This party looks AMAZING. You did a fantastic job with everything. I’m so happy I’m not the only one who loves a theme! :o) Although your execution is much better than mine has ever been! Happy Birthday Baby Evan!
So cute!!!! I love the theme and the food looks great. I’m so impressed.
Rita’s is the best. Mmmm Rita’s.
Wow, so awesome! Seriously, I’m not the type to just say that shit to be nice. What a wonderful little party.
I don’t like to call my friends insane, but my GOD woman – do you realize this kid is going to have tons and tons of birthdays?! :P Not to mention future hypothetical kids? This looks crazyamazing. I don’t know how you’re going to top this, but at least the party stores in your area can rely on a steady line of business! Shock and awe aside, it looks like you provided a fabulous and fun experience for E :)
