Happy 1st Birthday Noah!!

We had Noah’s birthday party yesterday and it was so much fun!! It was crazy of course but I surprisingly enjoyed it haha! I have to admit I don’t think it would have happened if it wasn’t for my moms help!! She was a huge help with everything!! I prepared for weeks a head of time but when it actually came to party day Noah did not want me to leave him alone for one minute so that made it really hard to get things done. My mom came out at around 1:00pm and we seriously just went hard. Luckily Noah slept for like 2 hours so we were able to get a lot done. We had a lot of people at the party too. I was planning on just having family but when I started writing everyone down we have a lot of family haha. I had to draw the line somewhere but there still ended up being around 40-45 people. It was good though with having my big covered deck. I just had my front door opened and the party was inside and outside. The only crappy thing was it was windy and raining on and off the whole time. But everyone didn’t seem to mind so it worked out well. I really felt the love yesterday surrounded by some many people yesterday to celebrate my little boys birthday!! We are so very blessed to live around so many family and friends who truly care about us and Noah!! Well here are a bunch of photos of the big day!!


I loved his invitations!! Our party theme was Bubble Guppies!! It is a children's show that is only a few years old and Noah loves it! It was one of my nephew Logan's favourite shows so Noah was exposed to it early haha! He loves all the music!
 This was my party table!! I loved the way it turned out!! The empty blue plate was for the hot dogs!! This was my party table!! I loved the way everything turned out!! Kyle told me I was going a little over the top for a 1 year olds birthday party but I felt it was more for me and I enjoy doing these type of things. I’ve been told I should be a party planner haha!!  Now here are a bunch of close up's of our party table!! Everything had a fun name to go along with the theme!!










 My awesome cake!! I havn't made cakes in a long time!! The last one I made was for my sister Jamie in May when she left on her mission. But before that it has been years. It was a lot of fun making it! I love making kids cakes because they are so cute!! Luckily I made it on Sunday and Kyle just took Noah for the whole afternoon so I didn't have any distractions!



 Here's the Birthday Boy!!
 All the kids who came to celebrate Noah's Birthday!! So much family!!

 I had a bubble station for the kids to play with. The only thing was it kept trying to rain but the kids didn't seem to mind!


 I am so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life! My friend Haley came to Noah's party which was so sweet. We have been friends since High School and she is more like a sister to me than a friend!
My friends Megan and Carly came all the way from Lethbridge just for a few hours which was amazing. I invited them just because I wanted them to now they were important to us but when they said they were coming I was shocked!! It just goes to show I do have amazing friends even though I don’t always feel like I do.

Cake Time!!




Lloyd and Shirley are Noah's adopted grandparents!! We call them Nana Shirley and Papa Lloyd! 
 I love my little family!

 My Mom and Dad!
My Grandparents!
Grandma and Grandpa Anderson!!
 I love my sweet little boy!

This is what Kyle and I got Noah for his birthday!! Kyle attached it to our covered porch so is up on our deck by the rest of our patio furniture!! It is so nice! Noah loves it!!

Looks like this was an amazing party! My little girl is also having a bubble guppies themed party in two weeks! I saw the invitations you made for Noah when I ran a google search and loved it! How did you create that? Please let me know because that would be perfect for my Emma! Thank YOU! :)
