Party Recap...
My son, Jackson, turned one on November 30, 2011 and his party was Cowboy/Western themed. I am a wedding and event planner and plan tons of weddings and parties but it was a blast to plan something for my own child this time! We held the party at Ottawa Farms in Bloomingdale, GA. The kids had a blast riding hay rides, cow train rides, visiting the petting zoo, racing miniature John Deere tractors, and roasting smores by the fire. I made most of the décor myself (except the stick horses in which my talented mother hand sewed each one). Some of the other vendors involved included:
