Hungry Caterpillar Birthday Party

We had Weston's b-day party on Saturday. Wowza, it sure went fast! So much prep. And then it was over in a blink of the eye. Kinda like a wedding on a smaller scale!

We had SUCH A good time. I didn't feel stressed at all. What is up with that? My mom was a HUGE help the night before and day of. I seriously can't say enough good things about how great of a mother she is. She seriously is my role model. :)

Three regrets:

1. I never got a "looking at the camera" pic of Weston with Neil and me. Makes me kinda sick.
2. The lighting sucked where he ate his cake. So the pics are not up to my standards. Oops.
3. I didn't make enough deviled eggs. I mean, i did for the party, but I should have made tons more for me. Because they were that good. This is the recipe. 


OH! I forgot to post the video to him eating the cake. It's quite funny. :)



































The onesie was made by my talented pal Heather.
I made the pom wreath.
Gina helped me make the accordion medallions.
The rest was put together via lots of searches online for products that looked like they'd go with the theme.
And the cake was by Hy-Vee. It was delicious and darling. Score.
Special thanks to Kelley for taking pics of the gift-opening for me!!!!
The hat was by this Etsy shop.

Look at him grow!!!

I have the first year of progress pics completed!!! Hooray! Hooray! And only 2 days after he turned 1

I am glad to say I am done with the orange backdrop. It's too small and with a kid who moves, I just have to have another option. We'll see what I do...but the last pic, his one-year pic...might be closer to what I'll do.

Enjoy!
