My baby turned 4 and we celebrated today with lots of friends at our “Sweets 4 the Sweet: Emmy’s Candy Shoppe” party. I own’t bore you with too many details, but wanted you to see how we decorated, and how we partied! 🙂 Here are some pictures I took before guests arrived

| Decorations upon entering our front door…. all courtesy of Target after Christmas clearance. |
 |
| Emmy’s shop set up and ready for customers- buckets and bins and jars of candy galore! |
 |
| I like to do our parties early in the day and serve brunchy breads, finger sandwiches, coffees, and we also had fruit salad (gotta have something healthy, too1) |
 |
| Cupcakes: vanilla with pink frosting, and chocolate with orange frosting. Some featured m&m’s, some had jelly beans, and some had spice drops (which my son confused for his guummy vitamins and yelled out, “Oh Emmy! I am going to have one that has vitamins on it!” |
And then the party people arrived, and a good time was had by all!
 |
| They decorated bags and then shopped and filled them with candy. |
 |
| It was chaotic fun! |
 |
| Emmy and her buddy Addy found a corner to sit and inhale their sugar. |
 |
| Getting ready for cupcake time! |
 |
| Lighting the candles. |
 |
| Opening presents…. |
 |
| And thanking friends with big hugs! |
 |
| Emmy’s friends were just as excited as she was. |
 |
| And now my big girl is 4! |
Thanks to my dad for taking pictures during the party since I was a little too busy. And thanks to all of those who emailed me or commented to wish Emmy a happy birthday!
