St. Patty’s Day Birthday girl…

My very precious granddaughter was born on St. Patricks Day…yes, she does have the “luck of the Irish”…

I usually set just one table for St. Patrick’s Day specifically for her birthday; however, since I started

to blog, I set two of them this year…I posted the previous one here….

After the “Lego Birthday Party”, we came back and celebrated her birthday, again…

She chose the astro turf “tablecloth”…wanted to eat on grass!

I took the top hats off of a “headband” and used them as napkin rings..

The hats were secured to the headband with pipe cleaners and I added a covered wire and to tied it around the napkin..I stuffed the hats with tissue to give them more substance…

The birthday girl decked out with her Lego shirt..with mommy and daddy…and her favorite cake..Baskins and Robbins Oreo cake..really good!

Next up..will post a tutorial on the Lego speedway ramp that “Pop” built upon request…and of course anything for the “sweet pea”…Here’s a sneak peek…

The kids at the party made Lego cars and to raced them down the speed ramp…an idea we got from going to Legoland…

Hope you enjoyed my “sweet pea’s” birthday tablescape…

    I love it!!! Looks like it was a great party! We went to a 10 year olds b-day party today and she wanted Legos for girls. I didn’t even know they existed but got her the Beauty Salon:):) Love the speed ramp! Your table looked beautiful, those dishes are gorgeous. XO, Pinky

    Love the St. Patrick’s Day table. The lego track reminds me of the Pinewood Derby track from my boys cub scouts days.

    The St. Patty’s/birthday tablescape is beautiful and shows that it was put together with much love. And the ramp that Pop built shows the same love in all of the attention to detail. That’s what makes it all so special for a very special little girl. She truly has the luck of the Irish with such devoted grandparents.

    I just love those dishes, Shirley! It looks like everyone had a great time. That’s a great picture of you and hubby with the granddaughter. Pop did a great job on the racing ramp ~ Pop’s and PopPop’s are good at those things! : )

    Fingers crossed this comment goes through. It seems like I have to sign in differently.

    How sweet — something she’ll always remember. Our daughter was born on March 14th and she LOVES St. Patrick’s dinner for her birthday. She’ll always be our sweet Irish lass (even if she just turned 30!)
