1st Birthday

Category
Yes, we are THAT family. You know, the one with matching shirts. Got our shirts via Etsy

My son is nearly fourteen months already. I can’t believe it! A couple months ago we celebrated his 1st birthday in true “A Well Crafted Party” style.

Today I posted some of the awesome photos that Macey of Motormouth Studio took of the party. I’ll be posting party details, projects, and free printables throughout the week.

But, I wanted to post some of my favorite photos of the party that aren’t related to the decor or food. THE PEOPLE! Thanks to all the lovely people that made it out to X’s first birthday.

The Bost Men

There were five adorable babies in attendance at the party. Afton and Ruthie (The Boho Mama’s twin girls); Jaxson; Jack (The Garden of Edlen‘s son); and X!

X loves his Uncle Jonny to pieces 

He dug right into his presents!

X’s GoGo flew up from Oklahoma to spend his birthday with him. He was so happy to see her!

X’s party was a ton of fun. Check back tomorrow to see what we did on his ACTUAL birthday.

The song “You Are My Sunshine” has been one that I often sing my son. Living in Portland, Oregon the sun only really shines during the summer and early Fall. So, my son keeps me smiling year round.
I hired Macey from Motormouth Studios to hang out at the party all day and take photos. She did a fabulous job!
There were a ton of DIY details that I want to share with you, including printables, recipes, and activities. But, they all can’t go in this one post. So, today will be a picture overload. Stay tuned this week for all of the DIY items!
So, I have evidently been a little frazzled this week. I posted the Friday Finds: Halloween Goodies yesterday… and, I genuinely thought it was Friday ALL day long. But, alas, today is Friday. 
I’ve decided to put up one extra Friday Find today with that is non-Halloween related.

Hot air balloon first birthday party via Rain or Shine. Such an awesome idea for a first birthday party. It would work for a girl or a boy! Some of Kira’s DIY details could work themselves into a variety of events. I’m especially fond of the Hot Air Balloon Photobooth!
