We set it up in 3 rooms... The kitchen had the main event... a HUGE sweets table & a taco bar for lunch! YUMMO! The living room got turned into a dining area, gift table & photo prop station. The "porch" was also a dining area and decked out for the event. It all turned out great- everyone ate a lot, talked a lot and laughed a lot at my childs silly antics. Great day!! She was also SO polite when opening gifts and told each and every person "thank you". Little Miss Manners! Without further ado... PICS!!
