party planning

I have always been one to love planning parties, not my own of course, but for others! But there is nothing like planning your own child's birthday! I guess you can say we are a themed driven family! Ever since I could remember, my birthdays were always themed (50's being my favorite). So now the tradition has been carried on to me, and throwing Gage some kick bottom, theme parties! His 1st birthday party, we actually planned the day that we brought him home from the hospital! I just said "How cute would it be if he was wearing a diaper and an eye patch?" That is how we came up with the Pirate Party!

But of course I got him an outfit instead!

His cake

cupcakes for the guests

eating his cake.... well he didn't actually eat any :)

Now for this year, it is The Wild West! And yes I go so far as taking his pictures in themed outfits for the invitations.

even got him a pair of roughed up cowboy boots

We are having it at Pony Paradise in Woodinville! I cannot wait to see Gage up on a Pony! He is going to be so excited!!!

Last weekend, I put all of his goodie bags together for all the kids!
