First Birthday, Serious Cuteness, and Let's Eat Cake!
I guess I don't have to remind anyone how fast a year can
fly by, especially when you're enjoying it! The grandma business
here this past year has been
wonderful,
and so much fun! It seems like just yesterday we were all dodging
projectile spit up and mustardy squirts, and then all of the sudden it was time to party plan
the little
Mister's first birthday!
My daughter (baby's momma) (who BTW
is the perfect party/event planner and hostess), had such a cute
idea for the birthday party invitations and made a
chalkboard sign that
said "Feed Me Cake." Next came a photo shoot to get a
picture of him holding the sign, so I grabbed my camera and
off we headed for the back
yard.
Having a great idea was only the beginning. Seems Little Mister
had some creative ideas of his own. . .
To get this active little guy's attention, we
hooted, we hollered, we chased him around, and momma played peek-a-boo
while jumping up and down. The neighbors
within earshot were probably
thinking we had gone completely and utterly insane. (Nothing new there.) Finally! The
perfect shot! Yes!! We nailed it!
Now the invitations were ready for creation in Grandma's design lab.
On the actual 5x7 invitations, the "Logan is One" text was a
bit smaller and the details of the party were below that
text. The
little cupcakes were
designed to
die cut and
were attached with 3-D foam tape. Here's a cropped version
without the party details on it, and one we had printed
poster-size to use for table and yard signs.
Does this guy have a case of serious
cuteness, oh what? (I'm just sayin...)
The cakes were designed to match the party theme and
Birthday Boy had his own cute little smash cake!
All of his favorite foods were served, including ma-ma's
meatballs, chicken quesadillas, guacamole, fruits, grandma's
macaroni n' cheese, and a big fish bowl of Pepperidge Farm's goldfish.
Pumpkin iced and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from Logan's
"Grammy" were so yummy! (I'm so glad she never scrimps of
the frosting!)
Everybody ate and ate, kiddies played, presents were opened,
and then.... at last....
