If there’s one thing I wish I could do more of, it would be throwing parties. Living in the Bay Area, we just don’t have the space or budget to host parties or get-togethers as often as I’d like. I mean, I play the lottery but it’s been letting me down almost as much as my husband’s cooking. Which is a subject for another day.

Sawyer is just getting to the age where she can enjoy ice cream (or the age that I let her enjoy ice cream), so we thought it would be fun to throw a little ice cream social for her and her friends. I picked up the ice cream and all the toppings and we went to town!

I used a large cutting board to showcase all of the sundae toppings. Is there anything better than a table full of cookies, candies, fruits, and lots of sprinkles? We left out the hot fudge and caramel sauce – toddlers already make enough of a mess without them!

Literally the look on the kids face said it all. I think some of them couldn’t believe that their mamas were going to let them indulge. But indulge they did. For about five minutes, until their attention spans brought them elsewhere…. 😉
