After all that hard work, the boys made a midnight run to the Donut Whole to stock us up for breakfast. Mmmm.
The next morning, which was the day of the party, all Sutton wanted to do was play with his new slide. He doesn't understand that he has to go around the other side to climb up, he just tries to climb right on up the slide.
Let me start the rest of this off by saying...I really didn't want to make this party into a huge thing that cost me a bunch of money and stressed me out. The only things I really wanted were friends, family, a cute 1-year-old shirt, cute invitations, and a cake for him. Well, it turned into a bit more.
See, I have this extremely crafty friend named Rachael who surprised us and brought all sorts of amazing decorations that matched Sutton's shirt! So we were all decked out. And my stress level? Well, that was pretty high too. I was having a hard time getting everything done and my house clean for 25 people. AH! Anyway, here are the cute decorations, courtesy of Rachael!
This was the view from the front door as people arrived:
Lisa of Buckingham Cakes did an amazing job making Sutton's smash cake. I told her what I wanted, and she did it way better than I even imagined!
Rach and I stayed up baking cupcakes until about midnight the night before the party. I really wanted Bonnie Butter Cake in cupcake form, which had never been done before in my family, but they turned out great! We had those and Devil's Food cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Rachael did all the frosting so I could stop stressing and get myself ready for the party.
Sadie got real tired from all the work she put into the party.
The photo booth setup with all the props.
Sutton and his godparents, Matt and Rachael! I love that they love him so much!
