Kate's Ice Skating Party

Last weekend we had Kate's 10th Birthday party.

Kate loves Ice Skating & wanted to go Ice Skating for her party.

She wanted the colors to be purple, aqua & silver glitter.

Here is the invite:

We had the first 2 hours of the party at a local Ice Skating Rink:

 Kate loves ice skating.

Then, after Ice Skating we headed back to our house for snacks, pizza & cake!

Kate & I attempted to turn our house into a winter wonderland.

 I had the leftover purple chevron fabric from Kate's 6th birthday party :)

Kate helped me with the decorations & I loved how they turned out.

 I got the hanging snowflakes here.

Here is the menu we had for the party:

Veggies & Hummus:

Fruit Cups:

Cheese Pizza:

Pepperoni Pizza:

For drinks we had Blue Frost & Melted Snow (both Gatorade)

I made name drink tags for all the girls & put them on mason jars:
I've had these mason jar lids for several years & they always come in handy at parties.

I also had a Hot Cocoa Bar:
 
 I had Hot Cocoa along with fun toppings:

 White & milk Chocolate Chips, Sprinkles, mini marshmallows & whipped cream:

Who doesn't love Hot Cocoa?

 And my favorite....the dessert table!



Another amazing cake that my Mother In Law made...



Seriously...isn't my mother in law amazing?

She made the laces out of fondant.

I had other treats as well...
 
Other treats I had were "Snow Puffs"

Dipped Marshmallows with sprinkles:

I got the straws here.

Snowballs (donut holes)

I got the toppers here:

Vanilla Cupcakes (I got the fondant toppers here)

Powdered Donuts with these ice skating picks:

I put together as a center piece instead of a floral centerpiece:

For favors, I did what I normally do...Sugar Cookies!

 I made this sign....love a play on words :)

 I think the cookies turned out so cute!

There were 2 snowflake designs & 2 ice skate designs.

Kate had so much fun at her party....that is what it's all about!

 Can't believe she is 10 years old!!!

Kate's Roller Skating Party!

We had Kate's 9th Birthday Party on Saturday...her actual birthday!

She wanted her party on her actual birthday, so that is what we did!

Last year after her Pizzeria 8th birthday party, she immediately knew that this year she wanted a Roller Skating Birthday Party, so that is what we did!

We have a Roller Skating Rink about 5 minutes from our house...it's where I had my 10th birthday!

They have party rooms there, but Kate didn't want to do the party room (thankfully!) She wanted to come back to our house after roller skating & have pizza and cake here at our house. I was more than happy to do that....I LOVE having the parties here at our house! 

Here is the invite: 

 The girls met us at the Roller Skating Rink and we skated for 2 hours.

I knew the girls would be hungry/thirsty while skating, so I made them snack/treat bags to have there.

Each treat bag had these goodies inside:

Bag of kettle corn, water bottle, Glo bracelet & necklace, Tootsie Rolls & a Fruit Roll Up:

The tootsie ROLL & fruit ROLL up were all because we were ROLLer Skating....you know I love a theme ;)

I made name tags for each bag so the girls would know which bag was for them.

My 9 year old ready to skate & party!

Look what shirt I found last week? Perfect for her party!

We skated for 2 hours. Kate wanted me to skate with her & her friends, so you better believe I did!! 

Who doesn't love roller skating? So fun!

After Roller Skating it was time to head back to our house for pizza, cake & a disco dance party!

Here are the decorations for the party:

 ..Kate wanted the colors to be purple, pink, aqua, lime green, black & silver:

After every party I throw, I save the supplies, so I had TONS of these paper lanterns (aka: disco balls) so I just re-used them for this party:

I loved how these looked:

You know I love a dessert table. I kept this one pretty simple:

I had sugar cookie fruit puffs:

  I made the food labels & toppers to match her invite:

We also had fruit salad that I put in individual cups:

 

 How cute are these roller skate toppers?

And, of course the amazing cake that my mother in law made...Kate helped her and they did an AWESOME job!

The KATE is rice krispy treats covered in aqua frosting & the laces are sour straws.

The wheels are mini-bagels with frosting covering them & a big marshmallow in the middle.

Kate wanted the cake to match the green roller skate from the invite. She wanted the white polka dots to be mini marshmallows. I love her creativity!

We both love a dessert table :)

Other details:

I also set up some food & drinks on my island:

Drinks:

 I had mason jars & fun straws for the girls to use:

I think my favorite part of the decorations was the little light show I had going on the ceiling!

Our neighbors have THIS. We call it the baby party rocker. I borrowed it for Kate's party. It is so little, I just put it on the island & it lit up the ceiling. It is also a blue tooth speaker & you can connect it to your phone & it plays music also. It was so perfect for the party. You can get it HERE.

For dinner, Kate wanted pizza

After pizza we had our disco dance party. The party rocker was awesome at night!

The girls still had their glo necklaces & bracelets from roller skating, so it was a full on glowing dance party.

So much fun. And, so loud! LOL!

Then it was time for cake!

Happy 9th Birthday Kate!

For favors, I did my usual....cookies from our local bakery.

They turned out really cute:

Kate loved her party, she said her favorite part was roller skating & the disco dance party!

 Can't believe she is 9 years old!!!
