Charlie's Dinosaur Birthday Party
Cheeks Celebrations owner, Claudette Guerrero, just threw her 4 year old a dino-mite birthday party! From food to activities, this party was a blast! Check out some of the highlights below :-)
The sweets were delicious and on theme.
The kids dug for dinosaur fossils, had growing dinos at the lab, and created dinosaur foot prints in the play dough.
Cheeks Celebrations ordered dinosaur masks and customized the girls with homemade bows.

Cheap. Simple. Favors.
Cheeks Celebrations is in the midst of planning a Baby Shower this month. We're always looking for easy favors for any occasion and look what we've come across. Chelsea Fuss had this sweet & simple chocolate shower favor idea.
To make them you’ll need: Chocolate candies in gold wrapping, unbleached parchment paper, rayon trimming ribbon (available here: http://www.custompaper.com/Shop/Ribbon/midori_rayon_trimming.html ), and double stick tape.
Then simply:
1. Wrap the candies in parchment paper and secure with double stick tape.
2. Wrap with rayon trimming ribbon.
3. Line them up to display or place one on each napkin.
According to Chelsea, these will cost 10c each to make!

Halloween Games for Adults
Dressed as a Sloth
The Sloth Sin Station can be the first award of the evening and will set the precedent for the festivities.
The sinner won't know he's the winner when he walks in the door; he'll probably just think he was "too cool" to dress up for your party. The joke is on him! The person(s) who comes without a costume is the Sloth.
As a punishment for the Sloth's laziness, he/she must refill the drinks of all the party-goers who followed the rules and dressed in costume. Seems like the winner of this sin station is actually the loser. It's all in good fun!
Test of Greed
Some say money is the root of all evil; find out which one of your guests is willing to "sell his soul" for a few bucks.
This activity requires one thing: a five dollar bill.
Place a crumbled five dollar bill in a highly trafficked area at your Halloween party but make it inconspicuous (ie- under the kitchen table). The first guest to pocket the money is the winner of this game.
If a guest finds the money and attempts to return it, let them in on the "game." The more people that can be on the look out for the winner, the better. The prize? Well five dollars, of course!
Pride: Have a Brag-Off
In this game, have a brag-off. The object of the game is to see who has the most pride!
Examples:
Have a costume brag-off - whoever convinces the most guests that his/her costume is the best, wins!
The parent who carries the most photos of his child in his wallet is the winner. Bonus if he carries around kid's report card or crayon drawing!
Halloween Cocktails
Both Halloween and cocktails are all about creativity, so they're the perfect match.
Plus, nothing is scarier than being all dressed up on Halloween with no cocktail in hand, so read on for some tips on creating delicious Halloween drinks. Spells and curses not included!
Nothing says sweet treat - not trick - like a Pumpkin Martini.
Ingredients
1.5 oz. vanilla vodka
1 oz. pumpkin liqueur
1 oz. butterscotch Schnapps
sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice
dried pumpkin seeds to garnish
Halloween wouldn't be the same without a (non-alcoholic) drink for the kids!
If this one is appealing to the adults as well, simply add 2 oz. cranberry or orange-flavored vodka to the brew when it's added to the glass, and stir.
Ingredients
5 cups apple-cranberry juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
2 cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons whole cloves
liberal dash of allspice
Bring to a boil in a saucepan, and then lower heat and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes. Pour into mugs, ensuring the brew has cooled to be drink-able.
Grown-ups Halloween!
Halloween isn't just for the kids! Decorate your home with crafts and treats for your closest friends!
