Little Man's First Birthday

We had an amazing time celebrating our little man's first birthday! I found some great material and created his tie and his sister's dress. I designed the party around those colors and all of his favorite things.

• Best Dressed

  Little man of course....everyone loved his tie made by mommy. Second best was his sissy of course in her custom dress from HootyCutie Designs (www.hootycutiedesigns.blogspot.com) made especially to match her brother.

• Desserts

  The cake was vanilla with buttercream icing and made by Marilyn Gingrich our go to cake lady here in Tallahassee. She matched the cake to the invitation.

• Activities / Games

  The kids enjoyed our beautiful spring weather and played on our playground in the backyard

• Budget

  we were definitely on a shoestring budget I made all the food, decorations & invitations. You can read about it on my blog...www.simplysprout.blogspot.com..... you don't have to spend a fortune to have a beautiful party.

• Party Favors

  The party favors were our little man's favorites Nila wafers that were iced with polka dots, number 1's and the letter C (for our little man Callen)

• Best Moment

  Watching our little man eat his cake....helped by his big sissy of course!

• What People Ate

  Everyone snacked on our little man's favorite treats....cheerios, nila wafers, chocolate covered mandarin oranges, fresh strawberries and fruit dip, fresh squash, zucchini, cucumbers and dip.

• What People Drank

  We had fresh lemonade and some colorful fruit drinks for the kids.

• Most Touching Moment

  The kiss shared between our daughter and son.
