Running in Circles

On Saturday, his birthday we celebrated Henry turning ONE!

We had such a fun little party celebrating "our party animal" and loved having time with friends and all their kids in our apartment. I'm so glad our friends are so go with the flow because there was 20+ in our little apartment.

I was scrambling to get everything set up so I really only got to snap a few pictures before friends were arriving. I love seeing how the little details come together. 

Brice helped design the invites, I spent my evenings making the banners, spray painting, and planning out the food. We served "popcorn party mix" - popcorn, pretzels, peanuts, M&Ms, and animal cookies, crackers and cheese, fruit, and cupcakes!

Henry loved having so many friends around and just loved his chocolate cupcake. He stuffed it right into his mouth and just sucked all that frosting off before taking a break to breathe. He got some great little gifts and I just can't believe he's already one!

Last night I threw a bridal shower for my sister Melanie. She gets married in 12 days and couldn't be more excited or more in love with her fiancee Kris. It was so fun for me to plan a little party and get creative and crafty for a night.

 The theme was "Pucker Up for your sweetie" so we had lots of lemon foods. Lemonade, Pink lemonade, lemon bread, cupcakes with raspberry frosting, chicken salad sandwiches, bowtie salad, fruit and veggies. I think everyone had a good time and she left with a lot of gifts. Thank you to my mom for helping to buy food, couldn't have done it alone! We also played a couple of games that kept people laughing! Congrats you guys! We couldn't be happier for you!
