Old Fashioned Birthday Party

Atticus' birthday party was SO much fun!  We had around 40 adults and children here...it was a full house, but the Lord answered my prayers and gave us gorgeous weather so we could spend most of the party outside!!  Here is the birthday boy, ready to party!

Proud Poppa and Nana came from Florida for the big celebration!

 

Uncle D and Auntie M drove 6 hours for Atticus' special day - we're so glad they were here!!

Atticus' Old Fashioned Sweet Shop...

In Atticus' sweet shop there were lots of choices - I had fun choosing all the sweet treats - made me feel young again!  Some of my favorites were the necco candy wafers, maryjanes, and vanilla sugar wafers.

And with all that sweet, we definitley needed something a little salty...popcorn anyone?

My friend Arlyn made his cake - it was delicious and matched the invitations beautifully!  The top layer was vanilla and the bottom layer was chocolate, both very yummy!

Atticus didn't waste any time digging into his very own chocolate cupcake...after being serranaded of course!
