Yesterday was Levi's 1st Birthday Party!
I had so much fun planning it and we all had a good time!
*lots of pics*
His cute little shirt! Jacob had one too on his 1st birthday, so happy to have them as keepsakes.
So there was some confusion between myself and Sam's Club on Levi's smash cake.
I thought I was ordering a small smash cake and they apparently interpreted that to mean a huge 10" cake.
Kris came home with cupcakes for the guests and a cake {that could feed 50 people} for Levi.
At an hour and a half before the party, I frantically said, "that is not going to work!"
I wish I had taken a picture of it. It was soooo cute, but it would not even fit on the tray of his high chair!
Kris took it back, and they threw this one together. It's not perfect, but oh well...
I ordered these adorable cupcake toppers off Etsy.
I made this cute little banner for his high chair. Big shout out to
Amy for cutting the perfect circles for me!

Cute fruit kabobs
She made it for her son's first birthday party last month and hated to see it go to waste, so she offered to give it away, and I snatched it right up! :) Thank you so much!!!! I loved it!!!
Check out her blog for one adorable little boy!!
We had a canopy outside for snacks and also set up a slip 'n slide and a little pool for the big kiddos.
I found the gumball machine idea from
Sarah's Blog. She is one talented lady!
Wasn't sure what I was going to put in it, didn't want anything to melt in the heat, finally it dawned on me: Skittles! Visit her blog for neat crafty ideas and her handsome little Manny! :)
I knew I wanted to incorporate "Snack Shack" somewhere, and when I saw these little wooden summer decals at Hobby Lobby and the pedestal (on clearance!), I knew what I wanted to do. Another thank you to Amy and her awesome Silhouette machine for cutting the words out for me!
My sweet friend
Melody gave me the idea for the #1. I bought it at HL but didn't know what to do with it until she stumbled upon
this post and sent it to me. Loved how it turned out! And super easy to make!
For party favors, I gave each kid a little freezer mug.
The favor tag is also from Etsy.
On the mantle I hung his monthly pictures :)
Levi was asleep minutes before the party started, and I thought he might be overwhelmed with everyone and all that was going on, but he was sooo good!
I will leave you with this. His look is priceless!
He's thinking, "uh... what the heck is this?" Makes me laugh! :)
More to come! The kid loves cake! ;)
