"On The Go" First Birthday Party

For my little guy's first birthday last week I decided to do an "On the Go" theme featuring trucks, planes, boats, and trains.  I thought it worked well with a first birthday since they are getting to be quite mobile and always are on the go around that age.

Here is the table with all the little goodies.  I put a picture of him the day he was born up to by the cups.  They grow so quickly.  Sniff, sniff...

Here is a close up of the decorations I put on the wall using my Cricut Machine. (love that thing!)

My oldest loves party hats so I made these hats for them to wear.  You can read my post about them here.

I decided to do something I hadn't done before and make cupcakes instead of a cake.  I used my Cricut Machine to make these as well.  It was a lot of fun.  The transportation was all from the New Arrival Cartridge.

Here are my boys in the airplane shirts I made for them.  You can find out more about these shirts here. Oh, and of course they are sporting their party hats.

I also did this little subway art and framed it and put it on the table.  It was a lot of fun to do as well.

Here is a my sweet birthday boy!  I love him so much.  We had a great first birthday celebration!

Party Hats

My youngest son's first birthday is this week so I thought I'd share some of the things I've put together to help celebrate. 

My oldest son loves party hats and so I decided instead of buying some ugly ones from the store. I would try making my own.  I found a party hat template by doing a general search.  Here are the three party hats.

I decided to make the Birthday Boy's hat a little different from the other two.

Here are the hats for the other two boys.

I punched a small hole on each side of the hat put an eyelet in the hole to make it more secure.  Then I took strings from some old store bought hats I had and used them on our homemade ones.

Another fun thing for a party might be to make the hats and let the children decorate their own hat.
