I thought about either not having one at all (just doing something with family) or having one for him and Isaac combined, but then I got all weepy about how this is the last "1st birthday" we'll have for our kids. Needless to say, we had one. :)
I'd been entertaining the idea (if I decided to have a party) of having a Dr. Seuss theme. I love all the bright colors, and everything Dr. Seuss is just so cute! I found some amazing ideas online, but trying to pull it all together was a little bit hard. Have you ever tried to find anything related to Dr. Seuss in a craft store? Let me save you some time - you can't. Oh sure, I found tons of amazingly cute things I could make from craft supplies, but honestly, I'm not all that crafty. So I wandered through Joanns and Hobby Lobby looking and looking for things that I could possibly make to somewhat resemble the awesome pictures I found on the internet. Not so much. I mean, his party turned out cute, but I had a much grander picture in my head of what I wanted it to look like. Is grander a word? Oh, and also, you can't find a Dr. Seuss cake anywhere, unless you'd like to mortgage your house to pay for it.
Okay, enough about that...on with the pictures.
The invitation:
The decorations:
{The banner is Jett's monthly picture from birth to 1 year}
{We started out with 2 fish - named, Red and Blue - but one of them died about 2 hours after we got them home. That is precisely why I got 2. :) }
The presents:
The cake:
Thing 1 and Thing 2 - aka Drew and Mariah ;)
I still can't believe my baby is 1!
