Brody's first birthday!

We have been planning for months. I adore throwing parties. I guess you could say it is my thing. I get so excited...sweaty palms, heart beating faster and head swirling just thinking about the possiblities!

We really do go overboard on first birthdays. It totally get that the party is for mom. I admit it.

I had so much fun preparing the candy buffet. The kids loved helping me fill the jars and setting up the table.

I made the banner and used coordinating fabrics. Shopping for the fabric made me so happy. (it's all about the little things!)

The colors are a bit odd but I found a very cool monkey at www.celebrateexpress.com and I went from there. I didn't want to go monkey crazy so it was perfect!

Our fantabolous cake was made my Anita Klein. I SO love her! It was perfect. Once again, just like she read my mind! It was of course banana with the most amazing buttercream icing ever!
