I know I promised to have pictures up of my son's birthday party and it has been a while since then but I do have a very good excuse for that. The amazing florist who worked on my son's party has gotten his party published online and I couldn't really post pictures of his party before then. His party was a complete success, it was gorgeous, the food was yummy and the prizes were a hit. I made baskets with homemade apple butter (a recipe I got on pinterest by the way) and homemade shortbread cookies (my mom's recipe) which I of course didn't get a photo of because when you are running a birthday party sometimes the little things get forgotten. I do have a couple photos from his birthday to share with you.
This photo is what our backyard looked like for his party. I know you might think I am crazy for doing all of this for a one year old birthday party and I might very well be but nonetheless this is how it all turned out. All of the flowers and design concept was created by the amazing company Entwined Design Events and Florals. They are extremely creative, talented, imaginative and I will never use anybody else ever again. Thanks to them my son's party was a success :) You can check out the feature at blog.hwtm.com. It is posted on Nov. 6th and titled Adorable "Barnyard Extravaganza" Birthday Party. Let me know what you think :)
This is what my son wore on his birthday.
We thought it would be a nice surprise to share the news of our growing family with everyone on his birthday so his shirt says Only Child Expiring Feb 2013. This is also another reason I have been super busy the last few months. We are thrilled to be having a second child. So you can expect that I will be sharing tons of baby gifts, shower ideas and every other baby related thing ;)
This year has been a whirlwind of amazing experiences, thrills and exciting new adventures. Luckily there are still the holidays coming up. So look for a blog post on Thanksgiving host/hostess gifts, Christmas gifts and maybe a few little surprises here and there :)
