For the decorations, I pulled the blue and yellow polka dots from the invitation. I also decided to make palm trees….ugh! That was a project!
To me, having a smash cake is the best part of 1st birthday party! Lucas has fun smashing the cake. He didn’t eat much of it. The cake was done by Ann. She has done several cakes for the family and always does an awesome job.
As I type this(between tears), it’s almost exactly 1 year to the second that my sweet baby Lucas was born. Hard to believe a year has already passed. As much as I love little Lucas, he has been quite the challenge. He is definitely happier now that he can be more independent. To fit his personality, we decided to go with the mod monkey theme for the party. Here is the invitation…
Here’s me and my baby (he will always be a baby in my eyes) at his party.
More pictures from the party will be up soon.
We had a great Cinco de Mayo…aside from the doctor appointment for Lucas. All went well at the doctor, so that was good. For dinner, we decided to go to my brothers place. Derek always has a great time! In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I had the tacos…YUM! Someone at the restaurant gave Derek the bottle poncho. He’s been carrying it around ever since.
It’s also Callie’s Birthday! Happy 3rd Birthday Callie!
I have lots of fun custom projects lately… website design, party accessories, and custom cards are just a few. One that has been the most fun has been a retirement party invitation for my mom. After 25 years of teaching, she is finally retiring. For her invitations, we decided to use her school portraits. She’s a better sport than I would be! Although, all the pictures are good. I decided to make the front of the card look like the composite they give of the entire class.
I think they turned out pretty good! I am looking forward to the party, it should be a good time. She deserves it after all the hard work she has put in the last 25 years! Congratulations!
You can see my other designs here.
I went back and forth about the cake. I didn’t know if I wanted to go with cake or cupcakes. I couldn’t decide…so I went with both! Dan and I made the cake topper airplane out of Crayola Model Magic. Derek loved seeing the airplane on everything. He would get so excited every time he saw it. For the cupcakes, I added flags. Some with the airplane graphic and the others with his age, 2.
Aww, I love the picture of him blowing out his candles. Such a big boy!
I probably got a little carried away with the airplane theme. I decided to serve the guests, pre-packaged lunches.
The kids had a great time playing with all the toys Derek received.
Thank you to everyone that helped us celebrate Derek’s birthday!
