PAAARRR-TAAAAAY!!!

This past Saturday we had Griffin's 1st birthday party. I think everyone had a good time and I think it turned out pretty darn cute if I do say so.  I went with a Dr Seuss theme just because Dr Seuss is so fun and I had a vision of a candy table that I wanted to make. Other than the whole fiasco with the cake, I think it went off without a hitch. After work on Friday, I went to pick the cake up and was very upset that it wasn't what I wanted. I had dropped off a picture of exactly what I wanted and was told that it wouldn't be a problem. A Cat in the Hat hat....seems simple enough. Well, when I got there, it looked more like a volcano with red and white stripes, not a hat. This mama was not happy. I didn't have much choice though...I needed a cake. Saturday morning I got up to get all the food ready and set up the candy table. The last thing I was going to do was set out the cake. Well, when I opened the box, the cake had collapsed. That's right, collapsed. This mama was REALLY unhappy now. Luckily, I had ordered some cupcakes as well. And my sister (aka Aunt Bunny) was nice enough to run to Kroger and get wee man an itty bitty smash cake. Here are a few pics to sum up the big day:

"Sweets & Treats" Table-oreos, goldfish, candy stix, animal crackers, gumballs, chocolate covered almonds, dum dums, skittles, M&M's, gummy worms/bears, laffy taffys, cupcakes

Food Table-green eggs & ham sandwiches, cheese & crackers, pasta salad, chips & dip

Birthday Boy

Too bad Griffin won't remember this party. The 1st one is always so much fun. And so emotional for me. I can't believe he will be 1 tomorrow!! Happy birthday sweet little boy!
