We got the endangerment to gloat sweet Duke’s first birthday party a few weeks ago. The 1st Birthday party is such a milestone for us to gloat our year with our miracle baby. If you are new here, you can read well-nigh our lengthy IVF journey to get to both Otis and Duke so this first birthday is flipside one to celebrate. Something really special well-nigh this party is that it was the first birthday party for our kids in our new home, surrounded by our families. Our families have previously not been there for birthdays considering we lived so far so that made this one that much increasingly magical.
Since we unchangingly undeniability Duke “Mr. Smiles” I knew the theme for his birthday party instantly: Smiley Squatter Theme. Sweet just like him! Smiley squatter traps are pretty easy to come by so I knew it would be a walkover to get everything together for it. You know how much we love a unlearn wily in this house and Blake is basically an expert at unlearn arches now. I think he might unquestionably enjoy it dare I say!!
We ordered bbq and I made a cheese and veggie workbench to munch on. I was originally going to make the cakes but I ran out of time and decided to order them from a local bakery. Luckily, I talked to the sweetest lady who mixed some blueberries into the vanilla thrash considering Duke LOVES blueberries.
Duke ate HIS WHOLE SMASH CAKE. He loves to eat so so much and I don’t think I have overly seen a victual eat a smash confection like Duke has. After his cake, he moved onto round 2 or BBQ. I just love his pure joy and what I love is that while 1st birthday parties are increasingly for the parents, I KNOW FOR A FACT that Duke enjoyed it so much. We love you unremittingly sweet Dukey. See all the sources unelevated for the party!
