Cole's Birthday Party Part1



Cole's birthday party was cute. The theme was" A Year In A Flash." Basically, I picked it because it is photo centered and well...you know how many pics I take of these kiddos. SO, it was just right to showcase some of them. I was crafty ( for me) and have been making/pinning things since December for the party. Here are some of the details. I am not posting people pics since they are part of the thank you notes I will be sending. I will probably post those in a few days when I have more time. For now, the highlights....

Cupcakes were delicious and the little pic of Cole made them extra special.
I put lots of pictures of this year all over the walls and tables. The TV had a string that had numbered clips  to show how he has grown over the months. Should have taken a close up...darn.
Cole was pretty quiet at his party. I made this high chair banner to dress it up a little and used a changing cover to hide the seat of the high chair for pictures. I love how light these turned out.


More pictures and the sign that directed everyone in to the Photo Booth

I pinned this balloon wreath on Pinterest and the favors were in brightly colored bags. They said, " Thanks for making my birthday picture perfect!" I enclosed a 4x6 frame with a poem that read, "With this gift you will know just what to do, because soon a note and picture will arrive for you. Use this frame to remember today and all our fan. This way our memories will never be done." I will be sending the photo booth shots and pics from the party in the thank you notes for the guests to put in there frames. 

More...pictures... and the blackboard with the year stats:)

I went with a hoagies tray and really simple kid friendly food. Oh yeah, and lots of balloons- four dozen to be exact! Cole's shirt was a design I ordered on Etsy. My printer ran out of blue I guess so its looking a bit purple. He changed into a camera shirt after cake. 

The kids enjoyed the photo booth :)

this is right before the party and there is my camera all set up for the booth shots


Great day with our family! Happy Birthday, Cole!
