Hey All!

Do you all remember my previous post where I shared my mood board for our upcoming Strawberry Spring Fling? Well we finally held our strawberry celebration and boy was it fun! In case you didn’t get a chance to read my previous post, I decided to host a strawberry-themed Spring Fling party for my family. The color inspiration for our Spring Fling was red and I ran with it as you can see. We had strawberries everywhere and delicious treats to eat from JELL-O brand that were strawberry flavored!

I poured a lot of love and hard work into this strawberry-themed Spring Fling. I made three awesome JELL-O brand recipes.

Strawberry-Snow-Cones

For drinks I made the JELL-O Gelatin Strawberry Snow Cones to sip on with some fun, fruity straws. Check out the recipe on how to make them below.

Everything was delightful and we had such a great time. We held our Strawberry Spring Fling at a local park so we could enjoy the blooming flowers and a day out doors. We had our snacks…

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-3

Our strawberry decorations (which we made ourselves)…

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-4

Our strawberry sunglasses…

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-5

Our paper flowers to craft in order to celebrate spring…

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-6

And our strawberry piñata created the perfect Strawberry Spring Fling!

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-12

We had a blast in case you couldn’t tell.

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-8

The sunglasses were a hit!

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-9

The paper flowers were difficult to make, but we loved how they looked when they were done. Such a fun spring-themed craft!

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-10

Guessing our fruity fortunes was a lot of fun as well!

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-11

And so was tearing up the strawberry piñata!

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-7

The candy that fell out of the piñata (which was also strawberry themed) was also a blast for the kidlets.

But the biggest hit of the entire Strawberry Spring Fling was our tasty JELL-O gelatin treats that we enjoyed nibbling on through out the fun-filled day.

There is nothing better than seeing the ones you love enjoying the food you make.

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-15

They loved those JELL-O Gelatin Strawberry-Yogurt Bites!

I even enjoyed them and yes, those are strawberry earrings I’m wearing.

We all dressed in red since red was the theme of our celebration. Out of all the recipes, I think the Strawberry Snow Cones were the favorite as they were the perfect drinks to sip on a warm day in the park.

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-18

I sipped, my husband sipped…

JELL-O-Spring-Fling-19

And so did the kidlets. We sipped the day away!

Who knew you could drink JELL-O gelatin?! I didn’t! It’s fantastic!
