Mod Monkey Party – Part II

Posted on Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Check out my other mod monkey birthday posts here and here.

As I look through the photos, I realized I failed to take pictures of a lot of different things.  For the food, we had blue and yellow bread made by our local bakery.  We used a round cookie cutter to cut the bread into circles.  I wasn’t kidding when I said I went with the polka dot theme!  All of the food was round.  I don’t know if anyone noticed, but it was fun trying to come up with food ideas that fit!

The adults were sent home with mini loaves of banana bread.  One picture I didn’t take was of the kids goodie bags.  I used a white gift bag and glued blue and yellow polka dots along the bottom.  Each bag was filled with fun monkey items.

The kids had a blast playing the ball pit we made using a monkey kiddie pool that was complete with a banana slide!  It was perfect!

You can find the mod monkey shirt here. She does great work and is super fast!

Mod Monkey Birthday Party

Posted on Sunday, May 17th, 2009

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.

Happy Birthday Lucas!

Posted on Saturday, May 16th, 2009

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.
