For Jill's 4th we decided to do a "real" party - verses the usual dinner and cupcakes. For fun I made a hot dog and ice cream parlour "stand" for the dinner. Our neighbor let us borrow his hot dog cooker and popcorn maker which the kids loved - what's better than getting popcorn out by yourself! 
Jill was sacked out on her bed when all the guests arrived. I eventually had to wake her up so we could get the party started.
The menu was hot dogs, sausages, chips and other heart-healthy dishes, like potato salad. Jill kept saying that she just wanted ice cream not cake so we made sundaes with all the fixings for dessert. Although I have no pictures of it we stuck 4 candles in a scope of ice cream and it worked just fine.
She had so much fun with all of her friends. It was a real treat. The girls made princess tiara's and the boys made pirate hats.
Cheetos Smile!

That is a deflated bounce house in the background.

That is a deflated bounce house in the background.Not only did it give the kids something to do but it also got rid of some of the energy that comes with a bunch of kids full of hot dogs and ice cream. Money well spent.
From the cheetos to the ice cream.
From the cheetos to the ice cream. Mia was lovin' having all that food lying around with parents being occupied elsewhere. I kept hearing "Hey! Mia's eating my food!" They should just be thankful we kept our other little food thief locked up.
Poor Henry.
Sweet birthday girl. We love you. Happy birthday!

Wow, hard to believe she's 4! Such a cute idea for a party - loved the set up Megan!
What a cute party! I love the little awning and Jilly's sign. Very creative!
Happy birthday, Jill!
Oh, that looks like it was so much fun. Sorry to have missed it! Love your stand and sign... so cute! Maybe you'll have to bring her up here and we'll take her to Sweet Jills for some more treats. ;)
Looks like it was sooo much fun! I'm sorry I was stuck working and not able to make it down! :(
Jilly! You're part of the 4-year old club now. You, Teddy and Ezra should be able to properly terrorize the 6 year olds at Priest Lake! We did hot dogs for Ezra's 4th too. They're all natural and totally healthy, right???
What a fun birthday party for Jilly! I loved the post and have browzed it twice already! I think ice cream and pop corn would make a delightful birthday party....some of my favorite food. Poor Henry indeed...he looked sad too!
That is SO CUTE!! You have such a good eye!!
