I decided to pick a theme. I like themes for parties- it gives me so many more creative ideas to run with. I wanted to pick something that was classic yet suitable for a baby. So, I chose...
COOKIE MONSTER!
Remi has this little milk and cookie toy that he LOVES. So, I thought it also went along with his little personality!
One of the smartest things I did, was hire a photographer. I did this so that I wouldn't be running around trying to get pictures of everything and miss such a special event. I ended up with around 700 pictures! You can understand that I of course, had problems choosing the ones to share! Anyways, here are some of my favorites...ENJOY!
Remi's table
Chocolate cake with butter cream icing
Remi's 1-11 month banner
party favors: wooden chocolate chip cookies and milk...a big hit with the little ones! We put individual milks in the blue tub up top so people could have milk and cookies/cake for dessert!
Opening presents
potty break...I don't think the photographer realized, but she totally caught Remi going poo in his britches...thank goodness for my MIL and Mom who changed his diaper for me!
Cookie Monster!
He loved this little camo puppy!
He thought this little laptop was a chair...it was so funny!
All his little friends (all girls!)
One Year Picture
Dinner time! Micah made the MOST AMAZING brisket, my mom made beans and my aunt made potato salad...I had seconds of everything!
All his new toys (not including all the cute clothes he got!)
His outfit HAD to match...ordered this from etsy
Not a fan of the hat Mommy spent so much time on :(
Getting ready to eat cake
"Please don't make me!"
"Yuck!"
"Mommy you eat it first!"
"good job!"
"Now, Daddy you try it!"
"Ok, now I'll try it one more time"
"I need some milk!"
"Let me just try this little brown cookie thing..."
"Now, this is GOOD!"
He ended up liking his cake, but he LOVED the OREO!
"Mommy you eat some of this yummy cookie"
Cake kisses
Remi and Na
Remi and Annie
Loving his Great Grannie
After I looked at all these pictures, I realized, that we never cleaned Remi up after Cake...oh well he is a boy :)
