The Party!

We all had such a blast at Ethan’s First Birthday party. The theme was “Barnyard” and it was a fun time! It ended up being quite a good turnout of roughly 35 people… thank goodness it didn’t rain!

Here is the cake I made for all of the guests:

Here is me giving a cheesy “thumbs up” in front of the cake:

Here is the cake I made just for Ethan to dig into:
Ethan set up to get his first cake:

Yum!

Gift opening… He got so many fantastic gifts:

The festivities in action:

A picture of the decorations that I made. I didn’t get as many pictures as I had hoped… there were way more decorations that I should have captured on camera:

We had set up our basketball game. Quite a hit with all the older “kids”:

    How Cute! It looks like so much fun! The pic of Ethan at his water table put a smile on my face. He looks so cute in that picture! I am very impressed with the cakes. I cannot make my Ethan’s cakes. I am already going to be way too stressed out to be baking. Where did you get the basketball thing? I think the guys coming would love something like that.

    Hey Ceci!

    Thanks for the compliments:)

    We have actually had the basketball thingy since Christmas. My Father In Law gave it to us! It was a blast. I think he got it from a sporting goods store!

    I love the expression on Ethan’s face in the picture with his cowboy hat. It looks like such a fun party and your cakes are amazing! So creative. I too, think your basketball thing is pretty neat. Yeah, I said “neat.”
