We had so much fun celebrating Ian turning one last weekend with our friends and family. We decided to have his party at our house, which turned out great, especially since he went down for a nap 30 minutes before it started.
Our desserts were made by
Baked By Ash, and she did a FABULOUS job! Not only were the mini cupcakes, cookies and smash cake adorable, they were so delicious. {She did cake balls for our wedding back in 2011, and everyone raved about those too!}
He wasn't really sure what to do with the cake, but it made for a great photo op! :) {A big thanks to my brother for capturing this one + some of these other pictures in this post.}
I did make a slideshow of his first year of pictures, but our TV wouldn't cooperate, so I was never able to play it. It's still fun to have though for when he gets older!
I usually don't do a whole lot of crafting because I get too impatient with it, especially if it doesn't turn out like I envision it in my mind, but I decided to take on a couple for his party. I was pretty pleased with how it all turned out! :) The high chair banner didn't take near as long as I thought it would, but it did take a whole lot more ribbon than I anticipated {we visited Michaels quite a few times last week}!
xoxo, Ashley
