Barnyard Bash

1st birthday parties are fun but lets be honest....it isn't for the birthday boy its for the parents to celebrate making it through the first year. That being said I started planning Ethan's birthday party about 3 months ago. I know...I know. It all started when I saw a cake idea in a magazine that I loved and decided to do the theme around the cake....Barnyard Bash! Now I am NO Betty Crocker but I can follow directions and it seemed do able so I thought I'd give it a try. It wasn't hard to make the cake but it was very time consuming. Luckily, I had help from my Mom, Grandma, and SIL Marcy in the assembly of the cake....BIG Thank you to them :) I have to say I am pretty proud about how it turned out!

I found super cute invitations from Zazzle.com and decorative stuff from Oriental Trading Co. that completed our Barnyard theme.

We had a great time and had lots (30 adults and 13 kids) of friends & family that came out to help us celebrate. I thought it would be fun to try and play a couple games with the kids that were there but had to have something that would work for and age range of 2 to 7 so I came up with Pin the Tail on the Pig.

Way too many gifts!!

Thank you to everyone for helping celebrate our precious little man.
