Down on the Farm: Hudson turns 3
Hudson turned 3 this month, which I still can hardly believe. It feels just like yesterday we were bringing a tiny little 6lb baby boy home from the hospital. That tiny little baby boy has grown into the busiest little guy on planet earth. His sweet face, those big brown eyes, that raspy voice, oh he melts me….
Happy 3rd Birthday Hudson Ray!
We celebrated his birthday farm style, sending invites out in burlap bags, tied with red bandanas for each child to wear to the party. The barn was empty besides three picnic tables so in order to set the stage for Hudson’s barn party, two giant truckloads of furniture, crates, apple baskets, wood boxes, tables, and other random things found buried in my garage were brought in. I made gigantic accordian circles to hang above the dessert table and attached a vintage milk bottle top to the center of each. The cake was set on an old pie delivery box and cookies/cupcakes/pies on vintage trays. Animal cake pops stuck out of mini bales of hay. Flowers were placed in vintage milk bottles, and all food was served in old red and white enamelware. The kids played dueling games of drop the clothespin into the bottle, raced through a corn maze, fed goats, pigs, chickens and lambs, had feather extensions added to their hair, and ended with a very competitive sack race in burlap bags. Guests were sent home with homemade strawberry-raspberry jam, goodie bags filled with farm animals and farm themed candy, baby chicks, and egg cartons filled with mini cupcakes.
A big thanks to Foster’s Barn for having us!

Did you make the felt barns for goody bags or did you purchase them? If you bought them, where? If you made them is there a pattern somewhere?
This is wonderful, can I ask you where you got your jean overalls for the lady adult?

I love this theme and am throwing a barn themed party for my daughter’s 2nd birthday this month. (Our’s is at our house though 🙂 I was wondering where you got the paper circle fan decorations. Thanks.
I love this! Can you tell me where you bought the barn goodie boxes please?
Beautiful family – we are planning our boy/girl twins farm party and I would love to know where you found the overalls and the felt barns.
Great Party…
I am in love with every single element in this party! Would you mind emailing me with some details? Cierrastamey@yahoo.com
Great party! Can you share where you got or how you made the backdrop? Especially the smaller ones pictured by the cookies above? I want to do something similar for a banner for my son’s farm party in December. Is the gingham and dot paper or fabric? I know it’s a lot to ask, but I’d love a reply and some hints! 🙂
Hi Kate!
I made the pinwheels using scrapbook paper and put a vintage milk bottle cap in the center! You could totally replicate this 🙂
So awesome! What a great time and decor!
