Simon Turns One!!!

July 2, 2012 came all too quickly for us. I never understood what other parents meant when, enjoy them while you can, time flies. Boy, were they right! I have to admit, it took me several months to plan this birthday bash, but it came together pretty well I must say. Our theme for birthday number 1 was Dr. Seuss. We had yummy food and a beautiful cake thanks to Casey's Cakes out of Hull, GA. Family and close friends were there to celebrate his special day!

Decorated the fireplace in the theme of the party

 This is the table food, we had lots of yummy goodies. Gotta give a shout out to the other bloggers who posted ideas about this party. Thank you!!!

Truffula Trees from The Lorax

 These were cake pops made by Mrs. Hardy out of Elberton, look her up, you won't be disappointed!

                           Then there was the cake. The top part of this cake was his smash cake.

 Green Eggs and Ham for the infamous book, Green Eggs and Ham. Yes, those are pretzels, but who wants to eat eggs at a birthday party?

             Cocktail weenies wrapped in dough, we called them Dogs in a Blanket for Go, Dog, Go!

                                                               Popcorn for Hop on Pop

 I got this drink idea from a pin on pinterest. Beezlenut Splash,  sprite with different colored jello floating around. Not everyone enjoyed the jello, but it sure made a pretty pitcher!

All of Simon's gifts! He received so many toys and Dr. Seuss books! He also got a sandbox and a lightening McQueen car from the movie, Cars.

 Here are some pictures of Simon checking his cake out. He wasn't so sure about it. Up until this point, we had never given him anything like this. The icing was a bit hard so it wasn't as easy to grab into, but he did want a taste.

Turns out, he was more interested in the fork than anything else. Oh well, guess he won't be like his Mommy after all.
