Seeing as though Hunter survived a year without Hallie killing him or severely hurting him…we thought it was cause for a celebration. So that we did!
We had a Seuss themed party – he begged me for a transformer party, but I convinced him that Transformers would be out of style before long, whereas Seuss is classic, it’s here to stay. (The joy of having a one year old is you can spin it anyway you’d like!)
We had his closest friends and playmates (i.e. Hallie’s friends, and our friends) for a beautiful afternoon outside.
As we were cleaning up after everyone left I stated that Hunter would remember this party as his favorite for years to come…Steve laughs and tells me, “we all know the party wasn’t really for him.” It’s true I confess. I saw summer quickly slipping from my grasp and the only thing that was going to make me feel better about it was to have one last lawn party before the chairs get stored in the garage, the trampoline gets taken down, and we say goodbye to our beautiful green grass. It was more of a goodbye summer party with a little birthday action thrown in. I hope Hunter understands!
What a cute idea! I can't believe our babies are already 1! It seems like just a short while ago that Becky, you, and me were prego! 🙂 WE miss Milwaukee so much! Hope all is going fabulously!
Great party! Great decorations, great cupcakes, great party food, great books, great theme and great people. Well done and happy birthday to the Hunt-man.
look at you being all "mother of the year"…sheesh you put me to shame!
Your so cute, I love it!! Miss you!
WOW. It looks like you went all out. Did you do all that or hire a party planner? Man kara… you have talent. You know I always look up to you for your orginal-ness…. is that a word?
You are quite the little(big) party planner! What a cute idea!
Do you ever do anything simple?? 🙂 Love it!
