Maxs First Birthday



tablecloth: found at Big Lots (3$) added felt shapes for ice cream cones and pom poms for cherries. Glued on with fabric glue from JoAnns (10$). Treats: flat bottom ice cream cones filled with cake mix, baked and frosted. Rice Krispie Stars on a stick, with a chocolate drizzle, wrapped in cellophane. Sugar cookies with cone shape in frosting. Ice Cream toppings (mini reeses, M&Ms, star shaped marshmellows,gummy bears) All treats are in disposable 9X13 tins, wrapped in matching wrapping paper (EASY CLEANUP AND STORAGE!) And little cone plastic dishes for ice cream, found at DollarTree! (1$!!!)

Well...its official! My baby boy, is no longer considered a "baby", but a TODDLER! Thanks to Pinterest, and others ideas I had, I think I threw him a pretty killer first birthday party! As he starts his first year as a toddler, I thought I would start my first year as a "blogger"!! Im so excited to be able to share the fun things we do, and places we go with all of you! So a special thanks to my Mumma, fiance' Dustin, and great friend/pastry chef Tanner to helping my dreams of Maxs first birthday party come to fruition!

Maxs personal birthday cake! Since everyone else at the party got their "cake in a cone"!



Personal Goodie Bags: found at DollarTree! Added cone pictures, and party words with the same glue I used for tablecloth. Filled bags with homemade finger paints, ice cream stickers, a BIG ice cream cone cookie, ice cream cone shaped bubbles, and other fun little toys and treats.

So there you have it! Lots of effort went in to my little mans first party! Including two nights of midnight baking in preparation for the big day! But it was ALL worth it! And as you can see I did it on quite the BUDGET! My plan every year after reflecting on his birthday is to write him a little letter that maybe someday he will read and appreciate! :) So theres the next blog post coming to you! My love note to my ONE YEAR OLD baby! Happy Birthday Beautiful Boy! Mumma loves you!
