We had such a fun time at this party and a lot of fun planning it. We knew we wanted to keep it simple and have a party similar to Matthew's first birthday. So we baked lots of cupcakes for all of our friends. We hung a bunch of green and blue paper lanterns in our live oaks and clipped about 150 pictures to them as well. All of our friends and family came and had a great time.
Here are some of the high lights.
- Hot dog bar for lunch
- huge bowl of m&m's for the bird houses
- pumpkin spice cupcakes
- pictures on the trees
- birthday boy's highchair and hat
- bird house favors
- Rolo pretzels
- drinks
- paper lanterns hanging from trees
The lanterns looked so nice in the trees. I would have left them for a while but it looked like rain so we took them down that day.
I also made Samuel a birthday banner. I was really happy with how it turned out but it took a long time to make.
And here's the birthday boy in his high chair waiting for his cake.
Samuel was so cute. We found this hat at Hobby Lobby and he wore it the whole time. I think he knew he was the center of attention.
The little cake I made turned out so cute. And of course, I had to make him a pumpkin cake.
Mmmmm! Yum!
I think he liked it!
Kisses from Grandmother.
"I'm done!"
I got him out of his highchair and we went straight to the bathtub.
After we got cleaned up, we went inside to open presents.
Samuel received so many wonderful gifts. But after they were all opened, he chose to spend the rest of the party crawling in and out of the very large gift bag my dad brought. He was laughing the whole time. It was so funny!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMUEL!!!
