embrace the camera {sugar on snow birthday party}

I wasn't too surprised when my little maple syrup- doughnut loving guy requested to have his birthday party at the sugar house again. We were even lucky enough to have some of the gang join us.

The birthday boy requested a pinata "ninyana" for his party. He wanted a scary monster... he got a maple syrup jug instead.

I made the pinata from a diaper box and the handle is actually a diaper all wrapped up. I cut a hole in the top and bottom of the box and then covered the bottom hole with a piece of paper. Then I wrapped the box in brown streamers. I took a picture of our maple syrup jug and enlarged it as big as I could and just taped it on to the box. Pretty easy and quick, but a very hard pinata to break open.


They all took turns hitting it.

But that "ninyana" was so hard to open that this momma finally ended up breaking it open...which may or may not have taken a few swings.

Homemade doughnuts.

And sugar on snow.

And a sugar on snow birthday party wouldn't be complete without a #4 doughnut "cake" for the birthday boy.

This little girl LOVED her sugar on snow!

Later that night he told me that "It was the bestest birthday party ever! I loved my #4 doughnut cake! That was so nice of you Momma...sorry Penny dog ate it!" Thanks for joining us guys, we had such a great time and being with all of you just makes it more fun!
