Toast weekend fun!



So, I had the wonderful joy of celebrating my niece's 1st birthday this past weekend. It was a perfect family gathering with Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Cousins and a couple of close friends. Not too big. A few balloons and cupcakes. Just perfect. I had to share my favorite part of the afternoon... the birthday girl's dad had an inkling to have a pinata (every kid party has a pinata of course) so pinata there was. A giant #1 in pink and white. It was fluffy and frilly and suspended from the branches of an old oak tree. The babies took their turns swinging (with a golf club - dad is still new to the pinata scene and wasn't quite prepared with the proper "bat") and then my boys (age 9 and 7, seasoned pinata professionals and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to golf clubs) pretty much decimated the cute #1. And here is the best part... spilling from the insides of this darling pinata were not only the requisite tiny candies... but something for everyone present at the party - adults and children alike. What a BRILLIANT idea. You'll see in the photo, just a few of the wonderful treasures that had been tucked inside ... Surf wax for the surfers, trashy magazines for the moms, hand selected favorite candies, juice boxes for the little guests and juice (plastic) bottles for the adults...


Cheers!

Jake's World Cup

Remember those darling soccer invitations we posted a few weeks ago?

The party was this past weekend, and TOAST was so excited to help Jake host his very own World Cup.

The boys all played hard and had a lot of fun!

Here are some of our favorite moments from the event.

 

 Here are all the teams at opening ceremony!
We had Argentina, Brazil, England, and Spain.


Chocolate Cake Cafe helped us make the delicious cupcakes!


The boys played like champions, and everyone received a medal!


Finally, it was time to blow out the candles on the cake and make a wish!

Happy Birthday Jake!
