Paloma's First Birthday

Paloma's first birthday party was "Muppet Mayhem". We are longtime muppet enthusiasts and our little muppet has always had a knack for causing mayhem, so we figured it would be a perfect fit. We ate, we drank, we played games and did crafts while muppet music played in the background. Fozzie Bear's Joke Shop and Dr. Teeth's Candy Station were a big hit, and the kids enjoyed creating muppets and then performing in the Puppet Theater. A good time was had by all!
