Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!! Joshua turned ONE! Has it really been an entire year?? My little baby is now a toddler! Whoa that went fast! I love being a mother, and happy to have such a sweet an loving little son. He truly is the light in my life.
If Josh was a summer baby we would have totally done a fun water party because he LOVES the water so much. Easy. But having a fall baby is fun too. Inspired by this little owl sweater from baby Gap, I decided on an Owl/Pumpkin party.
You can say I went a little Owl crazy. Just a little. (Okay....a lot.) "Owling" became a verb in my house. I was busy "owling" (making owls) for over a month. Yes, it was a little time consuming, but it gave me something mindless to do after Josh went to bed at night. Thanks to Pinterest and Etsy I got plenty of ideas on how to make this party a HOOT!
I never thought I could honestly enjoy all this decorating and home-making stuff. To my own surprise, I love it! In fact, the Jenny of a 2008 and the Jenny of today would be complete strangers. Friends, but strangers. Eat your heart out Martha Stewart!
Fun things on the menu: Dinner in a pumpkin.
Butterbeer (from Harry Potter)
Pumpkin and Chocolate Owl cupcakes
(thanks pinterest for the idea, and Marion for making them all!) love her
salad, chips n dip, pretzels, candy, cookies, etc. mmmmm....
this is wonderful! what a great idea for an autumn birthday boy! I love the theme, the food, the masks, the decor, everything! And he is just as precious as ever! He just keeps getting cuter!
