Max’s first party was the Saturday after his birthday. He had a great time!
Here are a few details from his party...
Invite:
I went with a balloon theme in light blue with a dash of red. ;)
Cake: I decided to make his cake myself and used a fabulous recipe passed to me from a friend several years ago (thanks, Angel!). I tweaked the icing to incorporate cream cheese because who doesn’t love cream cheese frosting?!? Please don’t admit it here if you don’t. I used sugar sheets and a round cookie cutter for the balloons (I wouldn’t suggest this method as sugar sheets are intended to be cut with a special machine and I may have permanent circle indentations on my hands from my cookie cutter).
Other food: BBQ ribs, hamburgers, pasta salad, watermelon (cut in circles AKA: balloons), potato salad (made by Grandma Repko), and chips.
Birthday Banner: I used the monthly photos and created a banner to hang for the party. I think it turned out super cute!
Birthday “games”: A pool! Nothing else required. ;)
The birthday boy: Max had fun watching the other kids run around and splash in the water, playing in the water table, eating cake, and opening gifts. He says thank you for being there and loving him!
Happy Birthday to You:

Max's birthday banner is awesome--a rendering of his first year! The ribs, cakes, water activities for the kids, and conversation among the adults were all great. Thanks for the party.
