{ jack's pajama pizzeria party }

A few months ago, I asked Happy Jack what kind of birthday party he wanted. He said, "I want to wear pajamas to my party. Oh, and I want to eat pizza and cupcakes too!". Easy, peasy, I thought. And so the concept for Jack's Pajama Pizzeria party was born. To be honest, I was also secretly darned excited to have an excuse for everyone to stay in pajamas all day too! I worked with the talented Adria, of Anders Ruff to come up with the invitation and coordinating printables. I felt a bit of sympathy for her because she was dealing with one discerning client (me!), but she was completely wonderful. Thanks, Adria! Your work is beautiful!Welcome to the party!I wanted our dining room and living room to feel like a cheerful pizzeria. I just love those colors together! Unbelievably, we failed to get a photo of the whole party table. Argh. Oh, well. Here's the top portion. and the table itself.

And a broader view of the table well into the party. Look how much you've grown, big boy! I can't believe you're 3! Ahhh, the power of felt and pretty scrapbook paper!A silly hat for a silly boy.

Sweet little hats for our sweet friends.

There were plenty of yummy snacks. I made nifty coordinating labels for the food.I think this was my favorite treat.

Hmmm, or maybe it was these. I ate a gazillion of these tea cookies after the party.

Labeled sippy cups with stripey, happy, yellow straws for the little pizza makers.

C U P C A K E S!

The lovely Charynn of Two Sugar Babies made these adorable cupcake toppers.

And these too! Aren't these tiny fondant pizza toppers the best!?

I used little pizza boxes to hold all the goodies we gave as favors.

Inside were pizza puzzles, stickers, and a bag of treats.

Pizza making supplies :)

The little chefs fancified their hats first, and then it was time to get to work! Roll...

roll, roll your dough.

Give it a little pat, pat, pat.

Time for toppings! Spinach!? Great choice, little guy.

And plenty of CHEESE!

Time to enjoy those pies! My little guy has the CUTEST friends ever! I want to thank my mommy friends for helping with the potentially disastrous activity of pizza-making.

I heart you, ladies!

Little brother and his friends were busy with other things while the big kids munched on pizza.

These busy, itty-bitty babies are pretty flippin' adorable too.Make a W I S H!

My wish came true the day you were born.

You are such a blessing.

I hope you enjoyed your special day, Happy Jack!

XOXOXO!

Special thanks to my amazing sister, cousin (who took all these photos-well the good ones anyway), and brother-in-law-to be. You guys rock!
