Lydia Kate's Candy Shoppe Now Open!

Welcome to Lydia Kate's Candy Shoppe, now open to celebrate her first year of life! Are you ready to walk through the Candayland gameboard? Grab your sweet tooth, open the door, and walk into Peppermint Forest.

Inside Peppermint Forest, you are greeted with newborn photos of the birthday girl. Wasn't she a beautiful newbie?? God has blessed us beyond measure.

Be careful as you leave Peppermint Forest and climb past Gumdrop Mountains, leading you into Gingerbread Forest.

Here you can make licorice and fruit loop bracelets, and decorate gingerbread men!

Now enter Lollipop Woods, where you can color sheets of the Candyland characters, and decorate treat bags. Don't forget your toothbrush party favor!

Now on to Chocolate Swamp- filled with red velvet cupcakes (thanks Steph!) ice cream toppings, and of course, a chocolate fountain. My talented friend Laura made the beautiful signs throughout the house.

I made the banner above the window out of scrapbook paper.

We are almost to the end! The part you've been waiting for...

Candy Castle!!!

Made from scratch, with lots of love. 

My birthday girl! Amy made her dress and bow.

Lydia Kate- you are such a blessing to us. Your little personality is already blossoming- you love following your sisters and brother around, "talking" up a storm, and are attempting your first steps. I am so excited to see what the next year will bring!!
