We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with a party at home with friends and family. It was the perfect day for a party, sunny and warm enough to have the windows and doors open.
Our theme was monsters, and I searched high and low for everything monster. I didn't realize monster stuff was hard to find, but I had fun with it. Overall, I think the party was a hit! Jackson surely enjoyed himself!
Guests were greeted by monster footprints leading them up to the house.
A sign on the front door warned guests of the fun inside.
Banner made just for Jackson!
I made a photo display of Jackson's first year.
Yummy cupcakes! The tower was made from empty boxes decorated with wrapping paper and ribbon - it worked perfectly!
The monster favor bags included bubbles, monster head squeeze balls and monster shaped lollipops.
The main room all decorated.
The spread was delicious!
Monster coloring pages, sidewalk chalk and monster mitts for the kids. We also had monster bowling set up next to the table.
Mommy and the birthday boy!
His shirt matched the table runner and fabric I used. Also, special thanks to Mary Had a Little Party for making the banner, front door sign, party hat and cupcake toppers to match the theme!
Blowing out the candle!
Not sure what to think about the cake.
The kids had fun with the chalk!
Quietly enjoying the balloons after the guests had left.
It was such a wonderful day! I can't wait for his next birthday and for what is in store for us in between!
