First Birthday Campout

Liam, Your birthday camp out was a blast!
It started out with some really cool invites:

Was influenced by some cool camp ideas:
 
And turned out sooooooo cute!

Here's a look at the campsite (a.k.a. the backyard):




campsite entrance

The favors:

Hobo sacks for each of the kids, filled with camping stuff

S'more packs for the adults

The grub:
Campground Cake

 "S'more"gasborg full of yummy camp treats--like muddy twigs, s'more bars, campout crunch and marshmallow pops!






Homemade straw flags in the shapes of tents, lantern and compasses

and a make your own Hot Dog bar

And a look at the fun that was had!
You loved the bright balloons (and you can even say "ba-ooon" now!)

Aunt Nicole helping with the veggie cups

Great Grandma Lois and Papa Allen

You found your way to the stump!

more ba-ooons!

you hated the hat


and the cake!

instead of cake, you preferred the "pond" (fully clothed)

as did the rest of the wee little party goers

you were quite the slugger with the bee hive pinata (also homemade--what a project that was!)

And you got lots of fun presents, but the best (and most appropriate to the theme) was the homemade (YES, HOMEMADE!) sleeping bag and pillow from Ericka.  You love snuggling with it everyday!

with the grandparents

the Pelton's

and the Kratz's


We hope you had as much fun celebrating number one as we did!  Happy Birthday Buddy!

Sneak Peak. Your First B-Day Party

And so it has begun.  Planning of THE party of the year.  Your year.  Our Year.  The first year of your life.  The best year of my life.

We have one month to go, but the invitations have been assembled and posted for mailing.

 Including a project of turning this adorable picture:

 Into this even more adorable envelope liner:

In other news:  You are now standing on your own for quite a long while.  Here's a picture of you balancing with your beverage in hand.

Also in other news: You love your tent.  A LOT. (thanks Brooke).  Which is PERFECT since you are having a camp-out party!
