Abigail spotted us on Ohdeedoh today! They said,

Of all the wonderful things at Jackson's first birthday, the photobackdrop is a hands down winner and an idea worth stealing.

I say, Thanks!

birthday

Jackson, your 2nd birthday is coming up. It's going to be hard to live up to last year's bash. (This grid is from the birthday backdrop photos ~ the backdrop is rolled up and ready to have the name changed for baby #2!)

the aftermath

I think I'm finally done cleaning up from your birthday bash. I thought there was something nice about this picture of the table at the end of the party..

baby's first birthday cake!

Remember the inspiration image of the birthday cake I wanted to make you from Cookie Magazine....well, here's what it turned out like:
and it was delicious. Although contrary to popular tradition, you did not get to have any.

what fun!

These are just a few of the many awesome pictures we took yesterday at your super-fun birthday party. You are so exhausted from your party you are taking a super-long nap right now.

invite

Here is your invite from your first ever birthday party. Daddy and I collaborated on this one - I did the colorful banners and chose the fonts, and Jon did the giant 1 and everything else that made it look way better than the way it was originally.
