For Henry’s party, I considered a bunch of themes…safari, construction, monkeys…only to realize that I didn’t want to “waste” a fun theme that he would really enjoy in a couple of years. So, I did a blue and green theme.
invitations.
centerpieces. the tablecloth was white, so this whole picture is kinda weird.
my kitchen w/ blue and green pom poms.
the bar. at a 1st birthday party.
the patio w/ blue and green paper flowers.
cupcakes w/ felt toppers.
jell-o. sans alcohol. this is a family show. come on.
gifts from grandma cottrell and auntie diana. came in handy with the kiddos! thanks!!!
I was pretty surprised with how well the whole thing went. Henry was awesome the whole time. No melt downs, no mommy cling, no overstimulation screams. He had a blast! I didn’t count the people, but my guess is that it was something like 45 people? Lots of friends, tons of family, 8 pizzas, 48 cupcakes, and lots of chips later, we were pooped.
birthday wishes from silas.
playing ball with aunt marcia.
I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

YAY for LG!! Awesome party! I still think you should have had the glow sticks and techno music. Maybe next year will be Henry’s first Rave :)
looks like you guys had fun! i love the look on henry’s face in the picture where he is holding the ball – so cute!
the decorations are way cute, too – love the centerpieces! and, there is nothing wrong with having a bar at a first birthday :)
everything looks really cute! how funny we both did the pom-poms–great minds…. sorry we missed it, but sounds like you had plenty of partiers! (is that spelled right?, maybe that’s not even a word.)
