The planning of Colby's party started off much like Kyla's, we were going to have a small get together with just family and a couple friends, pick a theme, plan a menu add in a few activities to keep the kiddos busy and botta bing - we're having hay rides! Yee Haw!!
We had a Barnyard themed party and a BBQ lunch, here are some of the special details that didn't make it on Facebook : )
First and foremost:
THE Cake
Hey little guy
This cake was my FAVORITE thing about the party. I found this cake online along with a tutorial on how to make this super simple, easy cake.
I instantly fell in love then asked my friends' sister in law, Erica of Icing and Sprinkles to make this cake.
And it was beautiful. Amen.
(oh, and I made the little animals with a little help from Kyla... or not.)
On to the food...
Veggie platter
Shredded BBQ Beef sandwiches on buns, homemade Macaroni and Cheese
(pictures of just the name tags is good enough, right ; )
Potato chips and mini pigs in a blanket (hotdogs wrapped in croissants)
Oh yeah, and the cake...
Did I mention it came with a baby cake... I mean, a smash cake??
The table (the hot food was keeping warm in the oven, I'm lucky I snapped this pic!)
Sweet Tea and Lemonade
Izze Sodas and juice in the wheelbarrow
Favors for the big kids. I found the cutest easter eggs that were farm themed. Think egg shaped pigs, cows, chickens, bulls and farmers, SO cute! They were filled with candy and those pill things you put in water and they turn into sponges... you know.
T-shirts for the babies
And bandanas
Birthday banner I made using Martha's crafty goodness
Photos from Colby's first year.
Super cute balloons I ordered online
I thought I was so smart, finding a great website, saving a million dollars...
Then it cost 2 million to fill the suckers up!
But look how cuuuuuute they are!!
Craft/ Seed planting table for the kids
Supplies
dirt
Planting!
Examples ; )
Hay Rides!
A good time had by all!
Some of my faves of the day...
Colby and his cake
He ate the. entire. thing.
oh my!
Check out the sweetness!
Happy Birthday, my Lovey : )
Oh, and you I can thank Jack Bauer and the Finale of 24 for this post, for without it I would not have taken the time to write this post tonight.

Wow - you really did a bang up job on his birthday. I think (have always thought) you are amazing!
ReplyDelete*I* especially love the "thanks y'all" tags on the baby t's. I knew that summer in the South left an impact :)
