party like a one year old :: party decor :: cake decorating





so... i tend to get a little over-the-top when it comes to birthdays and holidays. i think you know that about me already.  i had so so so much fun setting up for "bump's" first birthday!  above are a few pictures that i took right before family and friends started arriving.

things you might notice above:
  • yarn puff balls.  instructions here
  • cardboard letters, bought from hobby lobby, wrapped with yarn.  so easy & cute!  these were also featured in "bump's" one-year-old photo shoot.
  • cotton candy ice cream cones!  these were a big hit with the older kids.
  • treat bags of cheese popcorn.
  • soda in a glass bottle.  i know glass isn't the safest thing to have around a bunch of kids, but i just couldn't help myself.  they completed the "look".  and actually, it was mostly the adults who drank these while the kids chose fruit punch from the cooler.
  • "bump's" cake.  wow this was easy.  just food coloring and cool whip.  i got so many compliments on this and it literally took me 5 minutes to put together (after baking of course).
