So since this little one is turning 2 in September I’m a little behind but I had to post his adorable first birthday because 1: I’m obsessed with him and love him so much 2: I went a little overboard on this party and have to share all the little details!
I went for a Noah’s ark theme because my mom has a million noah’s ark already in her house and animals are kind of my favorite thing also!
The confetti I got from this Etsy shop and I got the tablecloth from here!
The adorable custom cake topper I got from this Etsy shop and the cakes are my favorite Whole Foods berry chantilly cakes that my best friend told me about and then I promptly fell in love with~the leaves garland I had purchased in this post~
My mom collects noahs arks and this cutie is from Mexico- love it!
I got this sign from Etsy here but then promptly forgot it at home and had to improvise with putting pictures on another sign and it worked out great! I loved doing his monthly photos but by the end I was pretty happy to be done!
Also check out the cute invitations! Got these from this Etsy shop
Poms were reused from this post and the one script balloon purchased here
These are some more awesome Noah’s arks and are from Chile, Mexico and Peru!
This highchair has been used so much and is really so cute and I got it for a great deal on ebay! It’s the Micuno Ovo Highchair
The felt MJ animal sign I got from this Etsy seller and is so precious!
The blocks are from this Etsy seller and I got them at my shower- also big Cowboys fans over here so daddy wanted them to represent!
This baby’s first year book is great just need to keep going and finish it…
The favors were also kind of my favorite thing I saw these at a local baby boutique Layette and decided they would be perfect for favors! They are Maileg stuffed animals which are from Denmark and they are the cutest! They have all sorts of outfits and accessories that you can buy for them and basically I wanted all of them for myself 🙂
The Noah’s ark on this table is from my childhood and I remember how much I loved playing with it!
Of course because I am obsessed I wanted a bunch of animals to be at his party! We had a baby kangaroo, a cockatoo, a hedgehog and a bunch of other animals that I don’t know the names of that were soooo cute! The company I rented from Zoo on the Move was absolutely great!
I also had a sorority sister who had recently started a food truck and we had her truck at the party and the food was SOOOO good! Highly recommend Oh My Kabob!
At the end of the day MJ didn’t know quite what the heck was going on but I had such a blast and so did all the people who love, care and teach MJ so much everyday! I’m so grateful to all my friends and family who make his life better (and mine too!) It was a wonderful first year celebration marking a year that had definitely been hard for us as a family~ We love you MJ yes we do!
