Celebrate – The details.

We had a birthday party for Wes a few weeks ago.  It was a riot.  I thought loooong anf hard about the theme of the party.  I was being picky.  It had to be just right.  And I didn’t want run-of-the-mill. Yes, it turns out I am that Mama.  And then I found it.  It was perfect and suited my little man to a T.  A little monster party!!

Seriously.  Have you met him?

So. once I had that down, the other details fell into place.

The invitation was lovingly created just for Wes by party designer extraordinaire, Melissa Walker (website to come soon!)  Isn’t it awesome??!!

And then there were craft projects.

But my favourite part was the yummies: Cupcakes.

Or should I say individually designed, personal little blue monsters.

Meet the whole crew!  My fave is the bottom right.  Or the one with the ‘stache.

I had the most incredible little helper.  I mean, imagine how difficult it would have been to clean off the spoons and beaters by hand?  Jaia’s method was faster and far more efficient.

And now for Wes’ cake – it was a regular sized cake and I fully intended for almost none to be actually consumed.

Word to the wise:  Dark blue icing stains everything it comes in contact with.  Everything.

My superstar mom crocheted this in one night for the birthday boy.  How fantastic is he?  He’s yet to be named.  Any suggestions?

Out of all the parties we’ve had around here, this was, by far, the most fun to put together.  My parents were in town and a MASSIVE help which probably helped make it feel like more fun and less work.  But it was awesome.   For the grown ups (and older kids), anyway.  Wes barely noticed all the well thought out details but delighted in the smothering of love he received.  It was exactly as it should be.

Party pics to come tomorrow.  Stay tuned.
