Birthday Party

Sunday we had a Birthday party for baby. It was so much fun he was so warn out by the end that we didn't even make it out of the parking lot before he crashed. So many friends and family showed up to support us and love on baby it was amazing. I know this maybe the only birthday we get to celebrate with him but I am glad we got to.

I decided to do an apple theme. I am so ready for fall and apples just seemed to fit, even though the weather was not fall feeling at all it was great for an outside party.

I wanted to just go simple and did a DIY carmel apple bar, it was a hit. I made my carmel with a trick I saw on Pinterest (I found a few different sites so I am not sure who to credit) but anyway it made my whole week that this worked and I didn't have to spend hours unwrapping carmels and melting and trying not to burn them. The trick is...crockpot + can of sweetened condensed milk (unopened) = the most yummy carmel ever. Stick the can in the crockpot, fill crockpot with water till reaches top of can. Cook on low for 8 hours. Open can for the perfect dipping carmel.

 

My sister made the cutest apple cupcakes to go with the theme and to wash it down apple cider punch of course!

 

 

My cousin helped with the decorations/photo props. They turned out so cute I loved it and

think I will do something like it at all my kids parties I loved how it turned out and will

make cute thank you cards.

 

 

 

 

Crystal also did a photo shoot for me a few days before. It turned out so cute and even though I chose these pics because you can't see his face I think these are my favorite anyway because they show how busy baby is.

 

 

 

Baby I don't know where you will be this time next year

but wherever it is I know you will do amazing things

you are such a determined little boy and can use that to move mountains

we love you
