Birthday Boy!

My sons first birthday was 1-11-12!

It was pretty fantastic. Even though we are far away from our family, we had friends come over for his party to celebrate our little guy turning ONE! 

The theme was turquoise and owls! 

There were lemon cupcakes with raspberry jam filling and cream cheese frosting!

Also some Pretzel tots!

Rice crispy treats dipped in chocolate, and some m&ms!

Our beautiful owl pinata was made by me, and I am very pleased with my pinata skills! I made it a string pulling method to avoid any indoor incidents!

And of course there was a cupcake smash! Tristan was hesitant at first and then dove in for a big bite! 

He looooved his birthday cupcake! 

Then he was changed into his birthday tux for presents and pinata fun! 

His first birthday was amazing, and after I decided perfection was not important, it was FUN!
