Max is ONE!
I cannot believe our Max is a year old. The past six (almost 7 months) have been a blur. We hosted a sweet little birthday for our Max. Here are some pictures.
 |
| I saw the balloon and cake idea on Pinterest and it turned out really cute. |
 |
| The cake shaped like a caterpillar. |
 |
| We bought Max the small hard cover of The Hungry Caterpillar. |
 |
| The kids were able to take goodie bags of candy or decorate their cupcakes. |
 |
| I really wanted to make the icing for the cupcakes from scratch (which I did), but we were not successful at getting the natural vegetable dyes to turn the green and red we needed (the colors turned out more like 'poopie' green and 'barbie' pink, yeah not cool.) So I ended having to buy the colored icing to put on the caterpillar and left the ones I made without dye. Max throughly enjoyed eating this sugary deliciousness and I was happy he didn't eat the awful fake colors found in colored icing. Oh, and if you are wondering....he definitely touched the fire :) |
 |
| He was extremely gentle with his cupcake. |
 |
He enjoyed it very much.
Considering I started planning for this birthday party one week before the date, I think it turned out really great. Thank you for all our friends who came out and celebrated our sweet boy. |
