The Party:)

Aiden and his good friend Oakley were born 5 days apart and so we celebrated their friends birthday together. We went to Enchantaland, this cute coffee parlor with tons of play stuff for kids under 6. It was really nice to have the party elsewhere than our homes. Much less cleanup:) The only disappointment was that is was crazy busy so we didn't get a table until close to the end. I did helium balloons with little bags of 5 cent candies tied to the bottom as favors!
Aiden is obsessed with doors, quite a few tears, since kids did want to go in and out and didn't care if he was there. So I had to settle for curious george since Jeff thought the price of Baby Einstein partyware online was a little outrageous, soo the curious george was super cute anyway.
All the presents....wow he was so spoiled and so many new clothes which is awesome since he's running out of shower gifts!

We had my mom and Jeff's sisters over for our evening party! I was pretty proud of his cake, not totally perfect, but it turned out cute!

Aiden really enjoyed his cake, I made his own little one. He was pretty messy, but pretty excited to eat that much sugar. Needless to say he was a little harder to put down at bedtime.
And the great accomplishment of 1 year hood, is mastering the sippy cup. Yeah! I just let him continue drinking without the plug (very messy) and once he totally had the hang of that, I stuck it back in and he was a pro. I am pretty anti-juice, I have seen too many kids with rotten teeth. He's pretty excited when I put even a tblsp of a.j in his water.

Sounds like a great party. I can't believe I have one to plan in a few months.
