Braxton's 1st birthday party was on September 1 but I must admit that the planning started before he was even born....haha
I fully blame this phenomenon on Pinterest. I look and pin, look and pin, look and pin....no big deal, right? WRONG! The problem is that Luke and I are a little crafty, well I'm a little and Luke is alot crafty, which means that the majority of my pinning turned into real life projects!! So the bottom line is that Braxton's party was a little over the top but it was super cute!!
The invitation had a chalkboard theme because we have tracked Braxton's growth throughout the year with weekly chalkboards!
The theme: Splish Splash!! We had 3 different stations set up in the backyard: water, sand, and bubbles for the kiddos to play in. The kiddie pools and water slide were by far the biggest hit!!
The food: We served Slip and Sliders, Baby B's mac and cheese, Diving Dips (7-layer dip), Fuity fun (Cantelope, watermelon, and grape skewers), and veggie. We also had sand pails full of snacks for the kiddos (goldfish, cheerios, and fruit snacks). Braxton had his own "Smash cake" and we had cupcakes for everyone else!
The favors: We got all the lil ones plastic lawn chairs! What kiddo doesn't love their very own chair?!?
The Guests: We are so thankful for all of our sweet friends!!!
Smash cake time!!!
Braxton had an excellent time! He played hard, ate a ton of cake, and enjoyed opening his gifts and playing with the paper and boxes. ha
The after party: playing with the loot
