how could i possibly have a one year old?! it makes no sense and all the sense in the world all at once.
we had family and friends fly to our spanish abode for the celebration. our house was full of noise, chaos, dog hair and complete blissful happiness. well at least on my part. ha.
when the wolf was cuddling me before his nap we looked at each other and high fived. he gave me a big cheesy smile and i convinced myself it was acknowledgement.
"we did it mom." "a whole year!"
most likely it was just excitement from recently learning how to high five.
our family and friends pulled together and helped make the lovely party i had in my head actually happen in real life.
the color scheme and overall decoration was based on what i was recently informed was Charlie Harper artwork.
peek a boo forest is luccawolf's favourite thing in the world. next to sticks. 3rd to dirt. so we decided to include all of those things. my husband made the mountain scene fake polaroid photo booth and the letters art installation.
we used brown craft paper, neon yellow printer paper, and white and gold wrapping paper. (mind you i live in the farming countryside of southern spain, not a michael's to be found. i work with what i can find. ;)....) i would like to also thank the spanish country side for copious amounts of dirt and sticks and most importantly, it's break in the rain for a perfect 70 degree day with not a cloud in sight.
my birthday man seeing his party for the first time.
our spanish world school map we scored at the gypsy market for 10 euro decorated for the day
i sewed the banners and made all the decorations (we have no craft stores around here.)
finger sized food for the babies tiny hands. though the adults didn't mind them either.
our diving man/ ice bucket got in on the action
i made the cake twig banner super last minute remembering i forgot to buy something to top the smoosh cake.
grown up table
the left over poster board from the hanging name the husband posted looked nice on the gate behind the balloon garden
snapped a pic of the little man eating veggies for proof in the future that my child at one time enjoyed green things.
snowflake window on the outside refreshment table. we fake it since we are no where near a white christmas or a brown and neon christmas?
goody bag swag.
photo booth participants were few (we remembered we had one at the end of the party. hahah)
DeWet loved the photo booth he managed to give me a full puppet show using the animal silhouettes. haha
