5th Birthday Week – Part 1
The Neverland Party
This past weekend, we celebrated Pinky’s 5th birthday (coming up on the 21st) with a lively Neverland themed party. I spent a lot of time and energy trying to make everything look great, which is quite complicated, considering the impossibility of turning wood paneling and concrete into something pretty.
We used a lot of props from the pirate party and the Wonderland party and then combined them to make our Neverland theme work. This saved me tons of time and most of my energy was spent on food prep. Pinky loves food on a stick, so we made cake pops, caprese salad skewers, fruit kabobs, and skewered marinated chicken. I also had my sis grab some rock candy because it just seemed right.
Other food included layered jello shots of the non-alcoholic variety and black beans salsa cups with chips.
There were quite a few characters who showed up this year as well, including fairies, lost boys, and pirates.
The main players even made an appearance. We had several Peter Pans, Capt. Hook, Tiger Lily, Wendy, the Crocodile…
And Pinky as Tinkerbell. Here she is preparing to open her presents.
Thanks to everyone who helped us pull off another great party! More birthday excitement to come!
