We celebrated Will's first birthday a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to share some of the photos from his party. The theme was "one year in a flash" because it really has gone by so fast.
The idea came from a party seen
here and I got the photo props from
Oh Happy Day. They were definitely a hit. We originally planned to be outside, but it ended up being so cold and windy, we mostly stayed indoors. A big thanks to my sister
Katie for taking pictures and making the cake pops, my mom for letting us use her house and to everyone else who helped out. It was a good time.
the birthday boy (and his crazy parents):
my darling sis-in-law (who also made the cupcakes) and her husband
Brandon with his BFF Tyson
my sister (and photographer) with her husband
Will did not want to wear his birthday hat.
the menu:
hamburger sliders and mini hotdogs
sweet potato fries
corn on the cob
fruit kabobs
lemonade
the cupcakes (filled with cream cheese goodness)
chocolate dipped oreos
the treat bags filled with bouncy balls (Will's favorite), sill bandz, slinkys, and mini m&m's
the straws and treat bags from
The Party Fairy
peachies and sour peaches (I think I got these more for me rather than for the party)
cake pops (which everyone loved)
the shades
the big balloons from
Party City (and are still floating according to my mom)
I also prepared cards and asked everyone to write Will a note he can read on his 18th birthday.
