Mountain Man Surprise

Surprise! Dafni wanted to throw her hubs a Mountain Man Surprise party. She had to purchase all the decor with cash and hide everything so he wouldn't catch on. He literally wants to BE a mountain man, so the idea was perfect. Isn't she awesome?

She borrowed animals for the walls, and purchased plaid to make an incredibly fun backdrop for photographs. (Too bad people at the party didn't play along, poo on them, they missed out.) You should see the photoshoot that went on after everyone left! Ain't nobody gonna stop me from goofing around at my bestie's shin-dig!

We arrived early to help her quickly get things ready. She had log pedestals for the food and other fun props for the table and let me have a go at setting it up.

A lot of photos like this one were placed about the room.

One of the games was meant to be a moose target practice…alas the suction on the arrow didn't work. But the kids had fun before the party got started anyway.

At a Mountain Man party, the best party favors include deer and moose droppings.

Dafni served yummy corn bread, old fashioned soda,

cupcakes,

and great chile. Here recipe can be found on her website here. (I WILL be making it. It's that good.)

Yes my friends, she's due any day with a little baby mountain man! Can't wait to meet him.

Brandon was THRILLED with his party. It's his 30th. I'm sure he'll remember it forever.

There are about a bazillion captions for the pic below….

Thanks for inviting us Dafni, themed parties are the best!!!
