The Chuck Wagon

I love to prepare food for people. For this party, I wanted to prepare food that I immediately thought of "Western."

Let's start with drinks... We drank from "The Water Hole." We had water, lemonade, and chocolate milk.

For lunch we had a meal off of the "Chuck Wagon" of chili and cornbread, sheriff badge cookies, s'more pops, and, of course, cake.

 

 

Next time, I will talk through some of the details and games.

 

Little Touches Here and There

The Western themed party was a huge success! This was such a fun party to put together.

Where to start, where to start. Let's look at the party decorations...the little details...

One of the standout details was our WANTED poster. Every child {and adult} posted with the mustache of his or her choice and struck a pose. The reward was, of course, 4000 because our birthday boy was turning 4.

 

 

 

The party favors were also to theme. My fabulous Mother-in-Law put these together...and oh they were sweet. Little brown bags, with scrapbooked boots on the outside...they were adorable and all the kids couldn't wait to get theirs.

 

 

Remember when I said that I try to have one standout detail for every party? This party was no exception. It was kept a secret until the very last moment. I pulled all the kids together and said, "Tell me about cowboys." I got answers like, They have guns, they get the bad guys, they wear hats... Then I said, "But what do cowboys ride?" All at once they said "HORSES!!" To which I answered, "But do we have any horses?" With many a sad face they said, "No." It was at that time that I said, "Oh yes we do!"

 

 

The look on their faces was priceless. I think they will remember this for years to come.

 

Next time, we'll take a look at the food.
