A Golf-themed party!!!!

As you know,  I had The Mr.'s childhood friend come into town last weekend for his B-day gift!!!   We spent the whole weekend surrounded by friends.  I decided to throw an official party for him while all our friends soaked in the 100 degree weather poolside.  The  boys played several hours of pool volleyball...and these games get SERIOUS!!!!  I think it is too funny!!!

I stole several recipes from Pinterest......  Have I said that LOVE Pinterest?!?!?!  

Arnold Palmer's are a MUST when throwing a golf themed party!!

buffalo ranch chicken dip, cold cut sandwiches, chips and salsa

hummus, jalapeno ranch dip, bean dip, chicken salad sandwiches, tall pretzels, and the Favorite: cream cheese stuffed strawberries. (cream cheese icing inside scooped out strawberries....then top it with crushed graham crackers.  Watch. Out.  So good!!)

frozen grape skewers and a veggie tray

I had cake balls and a cake made with plain white icing.  I thought it would be fun to decorate it myself.....and make it more personal.  We covered the cake with golf tee's and topped it with golf gear and a flag for hole # 34.  The cake balls (or cake Golf Balls) were put on top of fake moss along with real golf balls.  It was cheesy...but I just loved it and so did The Mr. 

Our little furbabies slept through most of the party.  They were comfy...just hanging out on our bed!!!

 Earlier in the week...our friend brought her sweet little man over.  Oh boy!   Ollie l-o-v-e-d him!!!!  They had a grand ole time!!!   He is pointing to Ollie;s nose in this picture!!!   So sweet!!!

Of course, the weekend came to an end....sadly.     We had to say "goodbye" to our buddy.  Tear...tear..

 We finished the perfect weekend with our kitties!!!!  (one giant kitty ...might I add.)

 We plan to spend many evenings at home with these furbabies...we are all partied out!!!!!
