Jameson’s birthday party
went nearly perfect. He was flooded with love, gifts, and cake of course! There
were a few flaws that only I would probably notice, but that’s a mother’s
prerogative, right? I took the Friday off before the party to run errands, clean
the house, and prep the food. Saturday I sent Preston on a balloon run for the final party touch. I
frosted the cupcakes and set the table. The guests arrived and dug right in to
all the yummy goodies. Jameson showed off his new walking skills to his adorners
and shared smiles as he made his way through the room.
Though I made everything
for his birthday as I generally do… I did make one purchase that completely made
the cake. The cake toppers I found were a must! They completely set the theme
and brought the whole thing together. The great thing about www.etsy.com is everything is
handmade and custom ordered. Items there are relatively inexpensive and shipping
isn’t bad. It’s a place vendors (typically moms with a creative bone) go to make
a penny here and there all while using their skills. I buy the boys’ birthday
shirts there as well!
Even one of Jameson’s gifts found its way to him from
Etsty.
Overall the First Birthday
went without a hitch. Guests with full bellies mingled while Jameson gnawed on
wrapping paper.
A frosting covered high chair with torn streamers sit in the
kitchen as Parker played with the new toys. I, of course, people watch from afar
and think about where I was a year ago; snuggling in bed with this tiny little
new person, smelling his hair, kissing his forehead. The only difference is now
is he can kiss back. Life doesn’t get much better than
this.
