OMG my kid turned 1!!!!!

Whelp it was an amazing party and Parker had a lot of fun! He had most of his little baby friends there and his family. We kept this party smaller than the rest and only invited Family and baby friends, rather that EVERYONE. I was sad not to have everyone there but I also got to spend more time focusing on him so that was nice~

 

Now brace yourselves for picture overload. I did a "Ranch" theme. I wanted it to be cowboys with animals and I think it turned out great!

 

Cupcakes courtesy of my Mom... the Cupcake animals and birthday sign you'll see later are from R & R Creations on Etsy. They did Kinsley's party too and I LOVE their work!

 Sweet Tea, duh~

I don't know if you can see but below are these smoore things... they are marshmellows dunked in milk chocolate and then rolled in graham cracker crumbs... OMG amazing!!!

I made this sign years ago for a friend's baby shower and I've used it, strangely, MANY times!

Kid's favors: Hat, Bandanna, sheriff star, mustaches, stickers, crayon rolls from Mrs. Crafty R Ving, and animal tattoos.

K's Photo wall was such a hit I had to do one for Parker... everyone signed it too!

One of Parker's friends Joey. He was such a cutie in his hat!

My Parents, always happy to get into the theme!

Kinsley LOVED the mustaches! lol

Parker's BFF Collin from next door.

The happy boy all dressed up~

Oh it's cake time! We weren't sure how it was going to go... but the boy did us proud.

it started off a little slow but he eventually got into it!

Shoveled it in!

And what would a party be without inappropriate drawings on the wall, especially when it's done by a 3 year old that has no idea what he drew... can you spot it?

Finally the birthday photos you've all been waiting for!

Welcome to Kinsley's Birthday party. It was Sesame Street Sassy! We have these amazing friends that have a huge shop that they allowed us to have Kinsley's Birthday Party in, since it was December and we had like 50 people come, it was iffy where it was going to be... but we have awesome friends.

So welcome to Kinsley Street!

Want to stop and color in Elmo's world?

Dorthy wouldn't have DREAMED of missing this occasion!

Drop your gift off at Big Bird's Nest!

Then come on over to Cookie Monster's Cafe for Pizza, fruit, and sweets of all kinds!

Just grab a hat and a bag and take your fill!

Pick any cupcake you prefer!

Enjoy some sweet tea, juice, or a Kinsley water!

Then visit Oscar in Grouchland and play in the soybeans!

Not enough candy on the candy bar? No Problem we have a pinata!

Oh here comes Elmo with the cake! YEA!

yum yum yum

Such a sweetie!

Aunt Jessie and Uncle Dan

Abby even brought her Flying Fairy School out for everyone to "fly" in!

And of course Kinsley's boyfriend couldn't miss this!

But she was keeping her options open!

Such an awesome family! I would have never been able to do this without them!

in the end, she's still Momma's girl!

Kinsley's party was magical. All of the details really came together amazingly. I had two GREAT friends that took photos for us the whole time so that we could just enjoy ourselves. One of them was Skidmore photography. Go to her site and check her out, she is SOOO talented and i was floored when she gifted us the photos! Total dream come true!

No i REALLY did throw a baby shower!

Okay so i WAS waiting for more "professional" looking photos for ya'll to REALLY do justice to the awesomeness that i created... but i'm not sure when that will happen so you will have to make due with my sad photography skills. Maybe if you squint it'll help?

Here's part of the food table before the food arrived... Bandanas used for napkins!
Here's the totally awesome and first ever diaper cake i made! Oh and you'll notice the lables a made for food. They were blank until people got there because it was a "country potluck"

Gotta love some gifts... this table was OVERFLOWING once everyone showed up! So happy for the future Momma to be!

Sign hung in wrong place but whatever. "Chuck Wagon" sign for food. Also made a "Carter Scott" sign for Momma to be to keep.

I had cake stands and mini haybales to help the food be on different elevations for a nicer effect adn to fit more on the table!

The smaller jars were people's "thank you" gifts... Homemade cobbler!

The larger jars are cookies in a jar, used as prizes for the games. I put the instructions for finishing the cookies on the back of the large cream circle.

This is where i had the "thank you notes" for the guest to write their address on for the Momma to be so that she wouldn't have to find everyones address... the doggie bank is to help the little man get his savings started and his to keep.

A blurry shot of the kitchen (not ready yet). The Jars in the middle are for everyone to drink out of. I tied lables on the jars for the guest to write their names on so everyone would know who's drink is theirs.

Coffee and Tea station

If/When i get better pictures i'll let you know... until then... squint!
