I can hardly believe it's true: my baby is one! It must be so though, because he is starting to walk more than crawl, and he is absolutely into everything!! He is still mostly sweet, but we have definitely seen a temper from this little guy! He "talks" all the time although we don't really know what he is saying he definitely gets his point across and we figure he will start talking in complete sentences when he does! :) We love the added entertainment this little boy adds to our family and we can't wait to watch as he grows! Happy Birthday Sammy Boy!

| The cake table and all the goodies! |
 |
| These were popcorn cupcakes! So cute and really easy... Just cut marshmallows on top and then sprayed with yellow frosting spray! |
 |
| Sammy's cake! |
 |
| The Circus tent cake... It was actually a lot harder than I thought it was going to be... I tried to cover the whole thing in one piece the first time... That didn't work (the fondant ripped and made a mess) so I had to do it in two pieces... The top of the tent and the bottom of the tent as separate pieces! Not fun reeeeeaaaalllly early in the morning!! :) But it worked out in the end. Not my favorite, but still cute! |
 |
| Lots of Lollipops! |
 |
| Cotton candy, clown noses, and Peter Spier's Circus! book (it's got great illustrations!) |

I love love love this. so many fantastic ideas...i don't even know where to start! happy birthday cutie pie sammy!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is MY kind of PARTY! I know all the work that goes into those little details, but it turned out amazing!! Nice job mama!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE the "Circus Party!" LOTS of work, but LOTS of fun. Looks like the "Photo Booth" was a hit with EVERYONE...maybe the adults more than the kids!! After all, who doesn't like to clown around when it's a party?! I think a circus party would be great for any age. Great job, Shana! Wish I wouldn't have been bighorn sheep hunting!!! : )
ReplyDeleteShana what a great job you did on little Sammy's party! Wish we could have been there as well, thanks for sending us the cute photo though.
ReplyDeleteYou have such fantastic ideas, I think by the time the kids get older you will run out of such great ideas! ha ha :) It was great being with all of you and seeing the "remnants" of the birthday bash! You really did do a great job! You sure did put in LOTS of work, but I know its lots of fun too, for everyone! Your kids may not appreciate it now, but someday they will! :) :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I can't believe Sammy is one already!!! What a party! What a cool Mommy you are:) Love it!
ReplyDeleteJust popped by to see what you're all up to, and saw you had a carnival party too! (I swear I didn't copy!) You did such a fabulous job!!! I especially love the popcorn cupcakes!!
