Birthday Party Recap!
Mod Monkey Theme
Menu: Pasta Bar: Penne or Linguine. Marina, Pesto or Alfredo Sauce. Chicken and Meatballs. Cesar Salad. French Bread.
Treats: Cake made by Nana. Cupcakes from Sam's Club(We actually had 30 extra because they screwed up the frosting on the first ones!) Blue and Yellow two toned yellow, cake balls, candy bananas, sparkly marshmallows, blue licorice, blue and yellow sour gummy bears, blue and yellow jelly bellys, banana chips, animal crackers and baby blue punch.
I found some super cute plates, napkins and cups with a monkey on them, so I based the whole party around them. So my mission for Blue and Yellow was born. I was a little obsessed. I made the Birthday banner and pennants, also the table toppers that held some candy. I was pretty proud of myself!
We set up some outside activities for the kids. Bubbles, big long wands, basketball, lawn golf, jump ropes, chalk etc. We of course had lots of kids playing on the jungle gym!
The guests that came were Nana, Papa and Brandon, Smith and Papa, Michael and Laura, Big Gram, Grandma Sandmon, Grandma Moe, Grandpa and Grandma Routh,Sherrie, Jim, Crystal and Jennifer, Kathy and Dick, Lisa and Jessica, Renee and Odie, Linda and Dave, Marilyn and Bob, Kristi, John, Brennah and Lilah. Jodie, Kenzie and Callie, Angie, Greg and Jacob, James, Michelle, Kaitlin and Joe stopped by later on.
Even though the invitations said no gifts, Carson received so many nice things! Lots of cute clothes, were set for summer now! Pajamas. Radio Flyer Rocket. A Little People School Bus. Books and of course toys! Nothing obnoxiously loud or battery suckers! Yeah!
Thank you to everybody who came and made Carson's First Birthday so much fun. It's still hard to think my baby is 1!
