Wanna help me plan it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-1st-birthday#post-807059 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:29:55 +0000 rachiecakes 807059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: we did a Winter ONE-derland. We had a cake with snowflake designs, goody bags included hot cocoa, candy canes and rock candy. I made a tree with lighted branches and hung photos of DS from each month up to the first birthday.<br /> (his bday is 12/17) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-1st-birthday#post-807039 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:23:53 +0000 looch 807039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's birthday is in December, and I don't normally let the season dictate the party theme. For his first, we did Hungry Caterpillar, because he loved it. Eventually, when he gets older, he'll pick the theme, and this year will probably be Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, again because he loves it.</p> <p>One year I would love to do a gingerbread theme, but when the kids are old enough to do it as a decorating craft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-1st-birthday#post-807035 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:23:00 +0000 regberadaisy 807035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything with snowflakes!</p> <p>A hot chocolate bar?<br /> A soup bar? Thinking a few crockpots and fixings of choice?</p> <p>"baby it's cold outside" theme?</p> <p>Or like a reverse Christmas in July maybe a indoor beach theme? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-1st-birthday#post-807009 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:14:23 +0000 tinyperson 807009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: her name is Stella! It worked out because its my great-grandmothers name, it had been on my list for a long time, it tied into my winter baby without being too obvious) and my dads a huge Paul McCartney fan, so he was happy with it (he would have liked any name, so I just kid him about it!).</p> <p>Frost your own gingerbread would be fun. My family used to decorate a gingerbread house between Christmas and New Years and then we'd smash it New Year's Eve. Maybe I could move up the decorating and have that be our new tradition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-1st-birthday#post-806811 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:16:18 +0000 MrsH 806811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: maybe a frost your own gingerbread? I'm curious what your lo's name is , would you mind sharing? My Dad always called me star and would love to honor that with our LO's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-1st-birthday#post-806761 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:05:14 +0000 fancyfunction 806761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's 1st bday will be in Dec. and I am thinking along the same lines - something small at our place. I am also thinking of doing a star theme - doing various jewel-toned colors as well as silver and I'd like to make the party very informal, asking people to come by between a few hour span for light bites and sweets. I'm also thinking of doing a hot chocolate bar of some sort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-1st-birthday#post-806742 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:00:28 +0000 tinyperson 806742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for ideas for LOs first birthday in early December. It'll be a small party, likely at our place, likely no other kids (just family and a few friends). We have a skating rink across the street, but not sure if the weather will cooperate this year to have it ready in time, so can't count on that.</p> <p>I don't want to go with an obvious winter theme (snowflakes, snowmen, etc), but was thinking stars (LOs name means star). Maybe gingerbread? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
