So, I've been a slacker, and I know that some of you have been waiting for me to upload photo's from Weston's Wild Rumpus. We've had a busy week and a half, but I've finally been able to stop for a moment and upload the photos.
As I mentioned before, Weston had a great birthday part, and we had tons of friends and family celebrate with us. I started planning Weston's birthday party back in June, so I had plenty of time to work out all the details. I knew right away that I wanted to do a "Where the Wild Things Are" party, so I started looking online, and I was able to find lots of great ideas!
Now on to the details...
I went with mostly oranges and yellows with splashes of green and blue, so I got orange and yellow napkins, and I had napkin tags made to wrap around the utensils. I loved this!
One of my closest friends and I made Monster Hats for all the kids and adults, who wanted to wear them. They were a huge hit, and everyone enjoyed them! This was a fun, easy project for anyone who is interested in making some for their next party.

The favors...We did crown cookies and cake pops for the favors! They were delicious, and we added tags to the favors that say "Thanks for coming to my Party! - Weston"
Here is a better shot of the favor table...as you can see we had cookies and cake pops laid out, we then had a sign that said "Thank You", as well as, photo's of Grant and I holding Weston during his first couple of months.
Here is a better shot of the table with the cake...we had Orange plates, napkins, the big cake and Weston's smash cake. The smash cake had Weston's head on top of the Max. It was SO cute!
These are the photo's of Weston's 1st Year! We had Months 1 - 12 in the flower pots with beans spray-painted green by my wonderful husband inside the pots. We also had a "Where the Wild Things Are" book on the table that we asked everyone to sign as they arrived at the party, so we could save as a keepsake.
Here is the wreath that my friend, Abby, made for Weston to go on the front door. She is so crafty, and this was her gift to Weston for the party!
Grant cut the logs, and we cut branches and taped the photos on them of him throughout the first year. I ordered the Happy 1st Birthday sign on Etsy.
We had photos of Grant and I from our 1st Birthdays, as well as, a photo of Weston a couple of days before his party! He definitely looks more like Grant! :)
Here is a close up of our "Monster" cake pops!
I ordered stickers, and I put them on all of the cups! They said "Weston Is One!"
I had a couple of other personalized items. I had a banner that said Weston, and I had some pictures in various places and "WTWTA" stuffed animals, as well as, acorns laying out in various locations and cut out leaves. I unfortunately didn't get a photo of this...I also had paper pom's, and I didn't get photo's of these either. I was SO busy with everything else, that I didn't get all the photos that I should have.
For food, we had lots of stuff for the little ones...blueberries, cut up grapes, bananas, apples sauce, gold fish and cheerios. For the adults, we had a pineapple dip and crackers, cheese and crackers, vegetables, grapes, corn dip and fritos, sugared pecans, chicken nuggets and sausage balls. I'm sure we had other items, as well, but I can't think/remember off the top of my head. For drink, we had a couple of soft drinks, homemade hot chocolate and wassail. It was all delicious and a HUGE hit!
P.S. Sorry for the strange formatting...I don't know what's going on, but I can't get it to look right, and I don't have lots of time to try to fix it this morning!
