Henry's Party food!

I had a lot of fun planning the menu for Henry's party. With a theme like "Frogs, Snails, and Puppy Dog tails" I knew I could get creative with the food. I know that some people think I might be crazy for going all out on a 1 year old's birthday party, but this is just me and this is what I like to do.  It is a ton of fun!

My dear friend, Amanda made the cutest food labels to match the invitations.  She is so crafty with Powerpoint.  Thanks, friend!

We enjoyed snail dirt cups.  Snail gummies cannot be found anywhere but the internet!  They looked gross but they went with the theme so we had to do it! right?

Snail breadsticks that my aunt and cousin helped make.  Thanks, family!  You can see an empty tray where the "frog legs" went.  They were really chicken strips because frog legs "taste like chicken."

Snail Pasta salad.  It doesn't really have snails..the pasta just looked curly like  a snail shell.  Thankfully, my mom, Nana, and Aunt made this while I did who knows what to get ready!

Frog apples.  There were only 6 of these fellas.  They were a pain to make and didn't turn out near as cute as the ones I found on Pinterest.  Thanks to Becky for helping.

Neil, the grill master cooked up a bunch of "frog burgers" and "puppy dog tail Hotdogs" for dinner.  We had "dog chow" that was really baked beans for the side dish.

The food was great, but the help I had making everything was even better.  Thank you, family and friends!
