Monkey Party!

Keeping the writing short and sweet, I'm back at work and exhausted... actually wondering how I can form a coherent sentence :)

So it is my beautiful niece turned one today! My sister in law decided she wanted a monkey theme. I immediately thought of one of my BFFs over at Just me prints who whipped up the oh so cute invitations and these Oh so Very VERY cute decorations. I made the cake. When everything was combined, can I tell you it was such a great party.

So first let's start with the monkey cake, then I'll show you everything put together.

First comes the head and body

 And the little mouth part
 Smile nose and mouth (this is the point where I thought, wow this will actually look like a monkey!)
 Add some ears, legs and a belly.
 Throw on some arms.
Don't forget the bow!

At this point I'll take a small pause to tell you that I dropped my monkey... her mind and body survived, but her arms and legs died a horrible death. She was fixed, better I think, you'll see it on the finished cake. 

Now here is some of the decorations done by Just me prints. 
 How cute!
 Candy bar for the take home treats.




 Take out boxes that we got to fill... Only my kids ended up somehow with 3 boxes each.. hmmm


And here we go, the final cake

I have to say I was so happy with how it, and the whole party came out. 


Wanna know the best part of the whole party.... This:



Bisou! Bisou!
