the first birthday party

The Birthday Boy is having his post-party nap right now ... and we've all enjoyed our first birthday party around here! Henry nibbled at his first taste ever of processed sugar but was really more interested in eating the colorful paper plate than anything else! His friends Isaiah and Olivia came over to play and Mum had her friends too, eating, talking, and eating some more. I knew, of course, I had baked way too much ... the dessert menu alone was fit for a church potluck ... but we all loved tucking into those three mini cakes (yes, three!) and cupcakes as well. Plus Monster Cookies, Rice Krispie squares, grapes, fizzy drinks ... oh, and an actual lunch too! Yessiree, I like to give my guests options!! I had fun putting on this little spread and creating some special touches just for Henry ... his "One Year" hanging photo mobile and the "Celebrate" banner ... a Mumma's gotta think of some crafty projects for home parties, right? Thank you to all my friends who were able to make it - won't next year be even more fun with both kids to enjoy a party together?!
