Henry's Party

We decided on a nautical theme for Henry's first birthday party. I wanted a theme that would be cheap and easy to pull off. We made this nautical flag banner out of card stock and I'm actually super happy with the way it turned out. AND it's something that can hang in his room now that the party is over.

For some of the cupcakes I made boat toppers out of scrapbook paper and bamboo skewers. We stenciled stars onto the others with blue sprinkles. We also had red velvet cupcakes with with cream cheese frosting and anchors painted on top using black icing.

We served tons of Sweedish Fish and Gummi Lifesavers, Goldfish crackers, and Bagel Bites (Garrison's call and it ended up being the most popular snack. Duh, they're awesome!)

I made this banner (out of the same card stock) last minute and realized we didn't have any place to hang it but the window. I think it would have looked way more awesome against a colorful wall and next time I'd use fishing wire instead of a dark colored string.

It's hard to see in these pictures, but I sewed a little anchor onto his striped onesie. You know, that way people would know he was at the right party and stuff.

Getting ready to eat his first frosted cupcake.

Before the party he swiped one right off the table and crawled away laughing and stuffing it in his face at the same time. He was so proud of his sneak!

"Omg. I'm like, soooo over this whole party thing"

We even had live entertainment:

Probably wondering why there's no milk coming out of those...

Bunz Olsen hates parties everything.

Someone partied too hard.

THE END. GOODNIGHT.
