Carter's Candy Bar

Carter's Candy Bar has to be one of my favorite parties to plan, because I love candy so much!!!  Michael's had some adorable Dylan's Candy Bar party items, and Aunt Kari was able to customize everything to Carter's Candy Bar.  The colors were so fun, and I LOVED how everything turned out! We had a chili bar, potato soup, Hawaiian ham and Swiss and chips and salsa for lunch.  A Robinson party wouldn't be complete without cupcakes from Parcel's.  They were so tasty this year!  For the first time ever, I broke down and bought sugar cookies...but they were ADORABLE and yummy, so it was worth it!

The weekend turned out to be a good time for most of our guests, so we had a house full of people!  I think Baby Mabel wins for most photographed guest, after all, she was the cutest baby at the party!    

Carter loved when we sang "Happy Birthday" and she couldn't wait to blow out her huge lollipop candle!

I think my favorite part of the whole party was when Carter opened her presents.  She was so sweet and thankful and excited over every single gift!  She loved being the center of attention and felt so big sitting on the ottoman in front of everyone.  When she opened one card, she turned it around and started pretending it was a book and she was the teacher telling a story...cutest. thing. ever!  She had been asking for "a horse...a real one that I can ride" for her birthday, and the Pony Cycle was a BIG HIT!!!  She quickly figured out how to ride that pony and was all over the house!

Our girl had the sweetest celebration!  I just can't believe she is already 3!  I hope I can always remember this phase...the good and the not so good!  haha!
