First Birthday Party! Omaha Edition

I still can’t believe my sweet little boy is one!
We had his party on the 23rd in Omaha. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. My AMAZING mom put so much work in to making his birthday so special. We started the party at noon due to Griffin’s naptime at 2ish. However, he was still incredibly cranky.

Aren’t these monsters SO cute?? I made them using the mini monster cricut cartridge.
So anyways, the theme was monsters obviously.

My mom made delicious sandwiches and vegetable beef soup for lunch. She also made brownies for dessert.

I made all the decorations. The cricut made is super easy. I loved how the table turned out too! It was just a simple plastic table cloth with a roll of wrapping paper on top. The cake shop in Harrison made his cake, and I LOVED how it turned out. It was adorable. Only bad thing about the cake… Griffin had some sort of allergic reaction to the dye in the cake. He broke out in a rash on his face, back, and stomach. Aunt Shonna said his tongue looked swollen as well. :/ After some Benadryl, all was well and he took a great nap!
So basically, that’s the layout. Now to all the fun pictures!

What a fun day! After everyone ate lunch, Griffin and I sat down to open presents. Well… he could have cared less! he wanted to nothing else but play on Nana’s stairs. Luckily, Drew and Emmalyn were there to open all of the gifts! ha! They were pros. Griffin got some money and some toys. I am going to open a savings account for him soon. His favorite gift by far was his Cozy Coupe from Nana and Papa. He loved it from the beginning and has loved it ever since!

Seriously! I have the sweetest little one year old EVA!
