^The big cake was a homemade carrot cake. See the "B"?
^I reserved some of the carrot cake and made Brad his own little star-shaped cake to eat!
^The menu was carrot cake, lemon cream cheese cupcakes, hummus and wheat crackers, veggie tray, fruit tray, pinwheels, BBQ smokies, chips, and M&M cookies. We had orange punch with red star-shaped ice cubes to drink, and there were apple juice boxes for the kiddoes.

^Chowing down on his cake! He took a bit to check it out, then figure out how to pick it up, then he slowly chewed on one of the edges. He eventually finished the whole thing!
^After the cake and presents, most of us changed into swimsuits and went outside to beat the heat!
I hope everyone had a good time--I've never planned a child's birthday party before! Now for thank you cards....
LOVED B's reaction when he touched his mini cake--- SO wish the cameras were rolling on that one, lol! hilarious!
ReplyDeleteEverything was perfect! The effort you put in did not go unnoticed! You are so dang creative!
So glad we were there to enjoy it all with you! I hope you've enjoyed your first year of motherhood, hope it's been all you dreamed of and more!
The party was a huge success! You are such a great party planner!!! I know Bradley had a ball you could just see it in his expression when Nick brought him down stairs to see everyone awaiting him. I hope he had a great time swimming after we left. Sorry we had to leave so early-we really do need to plan a day to come swim in your awesome pool with everyone. I know Scott would have a blast with Bradley-he always does. I loved how Scott and Bradley growled at each other when they were playing blocks-their SO boys! hehehe!
