COWBOY BIRTHDAY PARTY

Matthew turned 4!  He is always dressing  up in his cowboy hat and boots- so his first choice for a party theme was to have a Cowboy party!  I scoured the Internet for cute ideas (thank you fellow Bloggers!)- and I used the best ideas I could find (with my own twist of course)! I really wanted to have the party outside- but the weather has been so unreliable that we had to rent a space last moment. It was in a dated hall- so it was a challenge to make the room look spectacular.  We set the food table up in front of the fireplace- as it was the best focal point in the room.

Chicks on Sticks (cake pops) and popcorn balls were part of the menu.

Marshmallow S'mores and sugar cookies were also a hit on the menu.  I made little red and white checked  chip holders to provide the perfect serving of chips.

The "General Store" offered hats and bandannas to outfit our cowboy guests- as well as some candy and take home gifts- guests were allowed to "shop" for their choice of take home gifts at the end of the party.

Of course every cowboy needs a horse, so I made each cowboy a sock hobby horse- each with it's own individual personality.

The party had a rodeo for all of the cowboys to showcase the riding talents.

So, the party was alot of fun- not only for the kids- but also for the mom who planned it! Weeks of planning and preparing payed off.
