We did the Winter ONEderland theme. I had the hubby put out my Christmas outdoor decorations, the cake was awesome and E at almost all of his!... the kids loved our playroom. We made fake snow for the backyard. The big kids (adults) loved the snowball fight. We had about 40 people. I said no gifts but he still got gifts from almost everyone! LOL The kids couldn't stand it and opened them for him. So I'm not quite sure what we got and from who! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1227109 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:42:23 +0000 mrsjyw 1227109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a few shots of the party prep for sat! </p> [attach=888/13/mwixao.591x600.Screenshot_2013-11-19-13-39-54-1.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1226252 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:26:19 +0000 ChelseaRose 1226252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: we took away the cake too. He totally would have eaten more and tried to get it off the table later in the day. He only managed to get some frosting on his finngers though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1226245 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:24:52 +0000 ChelseaRose 1226245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: i know im late, but im glad she liked the cake and had fun!</p> <p>@travelgirl1: that cake was amazing! Glad it was fun even without a lot of family (ours was mostly friends too and our families are mostly local). </p> <p>Good luck to those mamas hosting parties this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1225533 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 21:54:32 +0000 californiadreams 1225533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: haha definitely not. That was a one time thing for now. I guess that means I'll have to finish it for him, oh well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1225522 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 21:51:20 +0000 travelgirl1 1225522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: Did you let him have the rest later?

Lol</p> <p>My LOs party was this weekend and we did a smash cake at the party. LO didn't like the sticky icing on his hands but once he discovered the cake he ate so much we had to take it away!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1225482 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 21:39:42 +0000 travelgirl1 1225482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: Ha ha, cake is one of the best things in the world though, isn't it? I went to a first birthday party on Saturday and the birthday boy LOVED his smash cake, it was so much fun! </p> <p>@scg00387: Here you go : ) </p> [attach=2112/13/mwhoq8.600x541.DSC_0567.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1224127 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 13:21:10 +0000 immabeetoo 1224127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: WHOA! So sweet you have so many people in your life who love your LO!</p> <p>@travelgirl1: I want to see the rainbow cake!</p> <p>@lindseykaye: thanks! I just posted a picture on the pics thread. It was a little stressful, LO was super duper grumpy the whole day (totally not like him) but finally warmed up once we got there. I will never plan another party over dinner or lunch though.. so stressful making that much food!</p> <p>@mrsjyw: can't wait to see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1223812 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:52:38 +0000 lindseykaye 1223812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Ah! Good luck then! I was going NUTS until probably half an hour <i>into</i> our scheduled party start time but after that it was smooth sailing!<br /> And if I had been able to decorate, make ahead, and had some help as planned I would have been good to go :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1223702 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:12:30 +0000 mrsjyw 1223702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: hehe ours is this coming up saturday! last minute frenzy! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1223695 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:09:32 +0000 lindseykaye 1223695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @mrsjyw: Hope your parties went awesome!!<br /> (did I miss anyone else who threw a bash this past weekend?)</p> <p>@travelgirl1: So glad your party was so much fun! I remember your yogurt bar idea and it sounded great - glad it worked out perfectly! And yes, she liked the cake. She mostly licked the frosting off her hands and took a few bites as pictured above. If I hadn't cut her such a big piece she would have picked it up and eaten it. Though when I took it inside, there was just the tiniest bit actually eaten off it. Little mouths - I'm glad she didn't actually get much :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1223690 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:06:18 +0000 DillonLion 1223690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guest list is up to nearly 50, but i know people always back out last minute so i dont excpect that many to show. </p> <p>About 10 people are coming in from out of town and staying at our house. Phew, thatll be interesting.</p> <p>Getting excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1214938 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:23:37 +0000 immabeetoo 1214938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: I LOVE that picture, so stinking cute!</p> <p>Our party is on saturday... I spent literally all day Sunday in the kitchen making buns, sloppy joes, pulled pork, and practicing cupcakes... I'm ready for January between this and the holidays :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1214907 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:45:03 +0000 turkeylurkey 1214907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1214882 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:21:00 +0000 travelgirl1 1214882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: Awww so cute! Did she like her cake? I made A a smash cake on her birthday, not for the party - anyway, she hated it, ha ha - shuddered in disgust and pushed it away :happy: </p> <p>@DillonLion: @mrsjyw: So exciting, I bet your parties will be amazing!</p> <p>A's party was last Saturday, it was so much fun! We had it in our building's social room and decorated with balloons then put lots of toys out for the babies. We had a yoghurt bar with different toppings and I baked a rainbow cake, which was awesome to cut into. I'd been really worried A would miss out as her family all live overseas but actually, she was surrounded by people who care about her and we were really touched. Birthday parties rock! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1214851 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:03:23 +0000 DillonLion 1214851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: NICE!!!</p> <p>I just created the ceremony script for our Hebrew baby naming ceremony that will be taking place at the party. I am really happy with it! I sent it to DH and my parents for their eagle eye on formatting/spelling/grammar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-thread/page/4#post-1213219 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:05:56 +0000 mrsjyw 1213219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basement is 100% done as of today.</p> <p>Will be decorating/prepping for the next week!
