Finally time for the "big" party.
The thing that has consumed my life for over a month (two if you count how long it took me to decide a theme)
I was so excited and a bit in shock that my tiny little baby was approaching that one year mark.
 |
| This was his invitation. I love it. I'll post his Sombrero photo shoot pictures... not may are of him happy. |
 |
| This was the center piece for every table |
 |
| Birthday cake for Kaleb to smash |
 |
Cup cakes for everyone else to eat.
(all homemade too) |
 |
The party favor.
A pain in the butt, let me tell you. But totally worth it.
I had to cut the favor bags in half, because the only ones I could find were huge.
Then Stapled in three places while holding the lable on, which I had to print about ten times before I found the perfect size
But... yeah... super cute, right?
The date says 9-1, because thats when we held the party, even though thats not his actual birthday. |
 |
We also had the fruity bubbles with a custom label there too.
(again, I just had to mess with the size until I found the right size) |
 |
| Water bottles and "fiesta punch" AKA hawiian punch |
 |
We also put out a sports thing of water. It was hot that day and I didn't want anyone going thirsty,
Also I knew that would stay cold. My desire for a pretty presentation prevented me from putting the bottle drinks into a cooler. |
 |
| Kaleb sized Pinata |
 |
| We have some great family. |
I was still setting things up when family started to arrive. I, of course, didn't plan enough time to set up and I was setting up all by myself. So as soon as my grandma and aunts arrived they jumped in and everything was done in minutes. I love my family.
 |
| "Grandpa" (my dad) brought in this super tasty "taco guy" for feed the masses. |
 |
| Kaleb loves aunty Freesia |
 |
| The little guy with the bottle is Joseph. Hes tiny and wonderful. |
 |
| Kaleb was very excited to see everyone. |
 |
| We also had some fun lawn games. :D |
 |
| Blake nused up the pinata... I thought it looked creepy. |
 |
| Kaleb took a wack at it. |
 |
| He was much more into it than his last party. |
 |
| The the bigger kids took a turn... |
 |
| The biggest kid (my aunt) destroyed it. |
 |
| She was very pleased with herself. |
 |
| Kaleb still dug the fancy burro, head attached or not |
 |
| Candy, whistles and stensels went everywhere. |
 |
| Kaleb found a stencel... |
 |
| But he thought it was a whistle... so he blew/hummed into it. |
 |
| Daddy finally give him a red whistle. |
 |
| Cake Time! |
 |
My son does not get sugar.
No sweets. Ever. |
 |
| This was a big deal. |
 |
| He LOVED it. |
 |
| He went crazy and shoveled it in. |
 |
| He destroyed that cake. |
 |
| Grandpa was very proud of him. |
 |
| Then it was present time! |
 |
| I LOVED when he opened this monkey |
 |
| He started kissing and hugging it. He has NEVER reacted that way to a toy before. |
 |
| LOTS of church clothes from aunty Nene |
 |
| a BALL PIT from aunty Sarah, which we inflated and he played in as soon as we got home. |
The party was so very much fun (if that makes sense). I love spending time with our family and I love how much they love our son. It was a wonderful time and WELL worth all the time/effort I spent planning.
Thanks to everyone who helped and came! We love you.
