My baby is officially a toddler! My baby boy is 1. We had his party in the 100 Aker Woods via Friends Park. It was an amazingly gorgeous day; we had had rain all week long but not for his day!
The park was decorated with everything Winnie the Pooh!
All of his food was themed! I had a great time finding all of the different things on Pintrest. I never would have gotten it all done though without the help of Nana, Grandma, Aunt Erin, Andrew, and Grandpa!
 |
| Acorns were made of Hershey kisses and mini Nutterbutters |
 |
| Tigger Tails were pretzel rods dipped in white chocolate that I dyed orange and drizzled with semi-sweet chocolate. |
 |
| Hunnycomb was rice crispy's made with Honeycomb cereal. |
 |
| Andrew thought that it was ironic that my mom made the Christopher Robin's Coleslaw. |
 |
| Homemade Applesauce, this was the one thing Elisha would eat! |
 |
| Stick House Sandwiches aka pulled pork sandwiches. |
 |
| Pigs in a blanket aka hot dogs on a roll. |
 |
| Woodchips aka potato chips and onion dip. |
 |
| Rabbit's Veggies and Roo's Ranch Dip! |
 |
| Full Food Table |
 |
| We even had carrot stick silverware. |
 |
| This is Texas Sheet Cake which I made for the guests |
 |
| This is Elisha's cake smash cake which I made thanks to some great advice from a good friend! (Thank you Mrs. Tina!) |
 |
| Completed Dessert and Favor table. |
 |
| Our favors were Hunny Pots with homemade honey candies. |
 |
| Favor's close up, Elisha owes a big thank you to his Aunt Erin for helping me put these together! |
We also had a 100 Aker Woods sign that some great friends had made me for my baby shower that we got to re-use and we made a big picture collage of the number 1! It was too windy so we had to lay the collage on the table instead of hanging it up.
 |
| I can't believe how fast he grew! |
Our friend is a local photographer and she came and took pictures of Elisha's cake smash. (Tracy Parron*) Although, he was not all about smashing the cake. Note to self for next time- soft icing. Although I am very pleased with how his cake looked the icing was hard and he did not get really messy from it. He also did not want to eat it!
 |
| Candle time! |
 |
| He touched it but was not sure about it... |
 |
| He did smash a little corner of the cake. |
 |
| But we kinda had to coax him into eating it ... or we just shoved it in his mouth; however you want to look at it. |
 |
| In the end he was still my happy boy! |
 |
Mrs. Beth then got in on the action and tried to get him to eat some. He still wasn't to sure about that ;-)
We also had a lot of family and friends come up to visit us for the special day!
Happy Birthday Little Man! Daddy and I can't wait to see what God has in store for you in the coming weeks, months, and years ahead! We love you! Happy 1st Birthday!
