Olivia's 3rd Birthday Party

This Sunday we celebrated Olivia's birthday with friends and family. We were so lucky to have such a sunny & warm afternoon for this celebration and we enjoyed it to the fullest. This time around we went for a gourmet hotdog party with a little dessert buffet. 

We rented a real hot dog broiler (with a turning wheel...so cool)

This is what we served:

We had our baker make custom buns (we don't like the store bought ones) & we had following toppings: 

Organic gherkins

Fried onions

Tomato - cilantro salsa

American style coleslaw

Homemade Ketchup

Home made Chili con carne

Cheddar

and side dish corn on the cob

For drinks we had a mint-ginger & lime lemonade (with or without rum)

For dessert we made a special 3 - chocolate cake with Swiss merengue frosting

Waffles (made by my grandfather) with strawberries & cream

watermelon 

Key Lime Pie

Olivia's godmother surprised Olivia with the most beautiful selfmade tipi-tent. All afternoon she just played in there, alone, with Jana, with the baby, with my friends. She loves it! It was difficult to make her sleep in her bed tonight. She got so many presents today! She really is such a spoiled little girl.

 Thank you all for making this a day to remember.

Thank you bompa for making our garden party - proof 

(Bedankt om onze tuin zo mooi te maken!)
And I love it that my man and I are such a great team!
