Aviator Birthday Party and Ice Cream Social

Bryce's birthday celebration continued all the way into last week, culminating with the family birthday party.  This year's theme: airplanes, but not to be overshadowed by the food menu!  We went in a totally different direction and it was a smash hit.  We offered a make your own grilled cheese bar.

Runway, complete with airplanes and "05" runway marker.

The grilled cheese bar featured a variety of breads, cheese, meats and veggies.  We should give credit to the Food Network magazine for this idea.  They featured an open-faced grilled cheese sandwich with lump crab meat and asparagus.  From there, the idea took off.
Our master griddler creating all the custom sandwiches.
We also had 7 layer salad, deviled eggs, watermelon and corn on the cob.  Perfect summertime food!
It was cool enough to comfortably eat outside.



Bryce and his love for chocolate is clearly represented here.  He requested a chocolate cake with chocolate icing.  I couldn't be more proud.








We continued the sugar fest with our annual back to school ice cream social.  We provide the ice cream and neighbors bring the toppings.  It was sugary good fun for everyone and a great way to visit with the neighbors before getting back into the school routine.



8th grade all the way down to two new kindergartners are represented.  Next year, Bryce will finally be able to officially join the crew at the bus stop.

Silly faces!
