Deacon's 1st Birthday

Deacon's celebrated his 1st birthday this past weekend at our house with a Dr. Seuss theme. Our close family and friends came and made the party great for Deacon!

As always, our gal did a fantastic job on the cake!

We made place cards to match the theme for all of our food:

Wocket Pocket's (Stuffed Pita)

Yertle Turtles (Turtle candy)

Green Eggs and Ham (Deviled Eggs and Spinach Tortilla Roll-Ups with Ham)

Poodles with Noodles (Pasta Salad)

1 fish, 2 fish, red fish, TUNA fish (Tuna Fish Sandwiches and goldfish)

Pink Yink Drink

We ordered some decorations online too, but I forgot to get pictures of it all:

And our goodie bags had seuss pencils, buttons, tattoos, balls and airhead candy (for "The Places You'll Go"):

Deacon received lots of toys and clothes:

We gave him an Alex Jr. Trampoline, since he loves bouncing so much!

...and he wasn't the only one who enjoyed it!

Deacon has a definite sweet tooth, so he was ready and all about the cake when it was time!

After:

We had to put a hold on the party just to give Deacon a bath and wash the cake out of his hair, nose and ears! But, he was raring and ready to enjoy the rest of the party as soon as he had his wardrobe change!

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby D!

Deacon's B-day Invites: 51 Weeks

Now that invitations should be delivered for Deacon's party, I can finally post a copy! I'm sure you have noticed by now, I a huge fan of Picnik... I used their site to create his invitation to match his Dr. Seuss themed party for this weekend, along with a seuss-y poem.

His picture turned out so adorable, I went ahead and made it his weekly picture too!

I cannot believe we only have one weekly picture left to take... I started the first picture with little expectations of sticking with it for the whole year, but am SO happy we were able to not only capture weekly snapshots of his cute little face, but also track little milestones that may have been forgotten.

Deacon, this week you danced for the first time, which, in my opinion, is PERFECT timing for your first birthday party!
