Who would have known that 10 kids would not go through 5 cartons of ice cream? Oh, and the two containers of ready whip that remain unopened in the fridge. Needless to say, the Hertel clan will be living large for the next two weeks.
Turning 5 is a big deal. So what better way to celebrate, than with an ice cream parlor party. It was going to be Stella Luna. "What's Stella Luna?" you might ask. Exactly... so, on a whim I went shopping. I couldn't bare the thought of replacing my first potentially pink party with brown. Brown! The horror. I did enough brown for the Indiana Jones theme for my son's 6th. It was time for pastel! While shopping, I came upon the cutest little lip glosses with ice cream flavors. They were adorned with adorable pink and white stripes, reminiscent of parlor awnings. And so the theme was born.
Crafts, balloons, sundae making and more-what fun!
By the way, Bella Luna is a bat. I feel somewhat guilty that my animal and bug loving daughter did not end up with her first suggestion-but I think that I made up for it with lots, and lots of sugar.
A few shots on the fly. I was, after all, hosting a party!
