We had a very exciting weekend around here! We celebrated Grayson's 1st birthday with his friends and family. We had a great time and only a few meltdowns. :) We had almost 30 people here at one point, so you can't fault him for getting a bit overstimulated! The party was initially planned for 4:00, but there was a huge storm coming through town in the afternoon. I was so worried that the party would be rained out and we would be stuck inside, that I called up our guests and most were able to make it earlier, so party time was changed to noon. I am so thankful for my husband, parents, and in-laws who all banded together and helped me keep my cool by getting the party all set up 4 hours earlier than we had planned.
Here is our cute bug's party invitation. The reason we went with bugs is that his FAVORITE show is and has always been Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.
The entryway to our bug party.
I made bug antennae for all the kids to wear.
Caterpillar with Grayson's name in green balloons!
We thought it would be neat for Grayson to have a keepsake from his first party. I got a Dr. Seuss book about bugs and had everyone write a note for him.
The favors for the kids; a home for the insects they catch and all kinds of buggy stuff inside!
For the last 12 months, I have been talking a picture on the 22nd of every month. It was so neat to see them all strung together to see how much he has grown in just 12 short months.
I attempted to make some of the food dishes "bugtastic."
Grayson's smash cake is above and his cake to share is below.
Thought it would be cool to see where the kids put their bees!
Below is a bunch of pictures of everyone having a great time outside!
It is cake time! Check out the video below to see more!
Cake smashing wasn't all that successful. We did get him to get a bit dirty by taking his baby cheetos and pushing them into the icing. He will do whatever he needs to to get to his cheetos!
Love this smile!
Not everyone was able to come over at noon, so Grayson's BFF Cooper came over after a nap for another party! The boys met when they were between 2-3 months old. So neat to see how they have changed!
Ahh...a love tap for Grayson!
I thought it would be cute to have some sort of photo op at the party. We all had a great time with this and I had a great time making it! Here are just a few of the pictures we got.
PS. The party went off without a hitch and it never really rained, but a small drizzle during the first party. Better safe than sorry I guess!
