Where The Wild Things Are Party Picture Mash Up.

Printables from OliveandBirch on Etsy

What. a. day! Even though today we slept a little later and we're all moving a little slower thanks to what, I'm certain, is a sugar hangover, Maclane's Where The Wild Things Are first birthday party was so much fun and a wild success! 

Worried about the 30% chance of rain in the day's forecast proved futile. After a quick drizzle during the first few minutes of the party, the rain held off until the last guest left and we were finished celebrating our sweet boy. As the kids bounced in the moon bounce in the yard, the men talked shop around the grill on the deck and the women congregated around the White Peach Sangria.

There wasn't a minute that passed that you couldn't feel the love and happiness that filled our house. Many times throughout the day, Mike and I were reminded how blessed we are to be surrounded by such incredible family and friends who spoil and love our boys to the nth degree. We are truly lucky. 

I'll go ahead and let the pictures do the talking. It goes without saying that I won't be doing any party crafting or baking for a very, very long time but it was so worth it...

The kid's table included kid-friendly snacks, 
circle PB&J sammies as well as a cooler full of juice boxes 
and fruit mash-ups!


Homemade cake pops with tiny fondant crowns. Obviously.



Party favors were homemade sailboat sugar cookies



Somebody was really digging his chocolate cake!

Big brother was so busy having fun with all of his friends, 
we hardly saw him at the party! 


Cake smash success!



We survived another First Year. So grateful to be parenting alongside this guy!


Fifteen days until the "official" ONE! 



**A huge enormous amount of thank you's to my sister-in-love, Krista Lee, who literally worked her behind off to help me with this party. From stuffing giant paper leaves to painstakingly making those tiny fondant crowns, to just coming over and hanging out with the boys when needed- this party would not have been nearly as cute nor as fun without her! Thank you, KL!! XO!**
