bailey turns 12

12 is a hard age to plan a party for. Especially when it's for a boy.  Who happens to be your son.  And  just wants to have his mates over for hardcore Nerf gun wars...

But you know me...it's not a party without some sort of party table.  This year, I kept things simple and put together a small cake table.  Look, here's a visual:

And then, because I don't do things by halves and because it was a sleepover party, once the boys had smashed the cake table, I turned it into a breakfast buffet arrangement for everyone to help themselves to when they woke up the next morning, which meant a) I didn't have to get up to make everyone breakfast and b) well there is no b.  If you've ever had 5 boys over for a sleepover, you'll totally understand why I needed a semi-sleep in!

Table details:

cake: chocolate fudge cake made by yours truly

jars, jugs, plates and cutlery all from my cupboard
