Kadence turns 4!

Kadence turned 4 this weekend and she wanted to have an Ice Cream birthday party! We are so thankful for all our friends who came out to the party and made it such a fun afternoon.

For her ice cream party we had toppings galore! Peaches, strawberries, peanut butter chips, Oreos, mini M&M's, chocolate chip cookie pieces, marshmallows, Reese's peanut butter cups, teddy grahams, gummy bears, walnuts, cherries, whipped cream, chocolate fudge, caramel sauce, butterscotch sauce, and lots of sprinkles!


To go along with the theme, I made her an cupcake cake in the shape of an ice cream cone! The cupcakes came in three different flavors: vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.


Everyone had fun playing with ice cream cone poppers and then we played two games. Reid won "Guess how many jelly beans are in the vase" and Aidan won "Pin the cherry on the ice cream cone".


Everyone having fun!


Time for ice cream.

   

Time to open presents!!!!



We sent all of our guests home with a little surprise.  An ice cream cone dipped in chocolate and sprinkles, then filled with cotton candy. (Thank you Pinterest for the idea!) All wrapped up in a cute little bag with a DQ gift card for a free ice cream treat. 

This party was definitely a huge hit for ice cream lovers.  I love how excited Kadence was about all the details. This momma had such a fun time planning and organizing everything. 

Happy birthday Kadence!
