Party for a Prince

Harrison's birthday party was on Saturday and I wanted to share some of the pictures from the fun day.

Here are some of the decorations:

Birthday wreath

Just waiting for the cake!

12 months of Hare-bear

Decoupage letters



Monthly portraits




His royal throne



Here's the buh-eautiful cake my lovely SIL made. You can't tell in this picture, but the icing actually sparkled!

Gorgeous! I hated to cut into it. Then I tasted it, and was very glad I cut into it.

And the smashing smash cake she made for the birthday boy (which you will later see that he found quite tasty):

The Before

And now for the pictures of the party:

Isn't this hat just adorable (Thanks, Tracye!) Harrison wasn't quite as much of a fan, though...

He wasn't a fan of this one, either.

No, I won't smile with Pappy. Must. Get. Hat. Off!

Let the eating begin

Can't tell I'm exhausted at all, huh? ;)

Next, it was time for cake. Mmmm...cake....

Why are all of these people staring at me?

And singing at me? Somebody is way off key...

Momma blowing out the candle and making a wish (for time to slow down).

What is this interesting new flavor you call "sugar?"

Hmmm. I think I might like it!

Let's taste a little more to be sure.

Hands just aren't efficient enough for this goodness. Face plant!



I'm not sure I'm making a big enough mess here.



I'm starting to feel a little sick...

Why is my tummy hurting?! I only ate 5 lbs of cake...



The After

 After the royal scrub down, it was time to open presents! Harrison had a little help with this activity, whether he wanted it or not. :)

Here are the favors we handed out as people left:

All in all, it was a great day. I think the final headcount was around 29 people! Thanks to everybody who helped out to make the party go smoothly and to everybody who came to wish our little guy a happy first birthday. He is one very loved baby, that's for sure!

One.
