micah's birthday bash.

taking a balloon theme to the max.

on a minimum budget.

though if time was money... let's not talk about that.

12 helium balloons.

about a billion regular ones.

homemade bunting. 

homemade cake pops. 

(in lieu of a goodie bag, on a foam "cloud", along with balloons and a decorated pumpkin!)

balloon poster. with his month-by-month stats. 

if you look closely, in the picture, he's got a hot air balloon basket next to him! 

homemade birthday cake. with balloons. made with the help of a friend who also makes amazing cakes as her side business.

the kids decorated pumpkins in a mess-free manner.

phew.

 and everyone wrote notes in micah's birthday book! 

 

let the party begin!

we survived a year!

and so did he!

cake smash. 

i'm a little obsessed with these. 

suit and tie, justin timberlake?

i beg to differ.

diaper and tie.

win.

 (that's his birthday plate hidden under the smash cake!)

happy birthday, micah!

it could be said that i enjoyed planning your party more than you could have enjoyed the actual party.

everyone wins.
