In August my little man turned ONE!! I have no idea where the past year has gone.
We celebrated by having a carnival. I started planning and building months in advance. We had a popcorn bar with three different flavors of popcorn. Party Popcorn- drizzled with white chocolate and little sprinkles. Butter Popcorn and Maple Bacon Popcorn...YUM!!!
We also did a hot dog bar for our main food. It is super easy to just stand the hot dogs up in a crock pot and turn it on. It keeps the hot dogs hot and no one is standing over a grill for the whole party. For hot dog toppings we had: Cheese, caramelized onions, chili, onions in sauce, ketchup, mustard, relish...it was a big hit!
I made the little man's cake...vanilla with salted caramel buttercream. I also made cupcakes with mini marshmallow "popcorn" on top. It was a fantastic day with friends and family!
The biggest hit of the party was the COTTON CANDY!! I thought the kids would be most excited for it but to be totally honest, it was the adults that were the most excited :) We are all just big kids at heart anyway right?!
Here are some pictures from the day:
And no First Birthday would be complete without a SMASH CAKE!!
Planning this birthday party was so much fun. I definitely could have used another week to get everything ready but overall, everyone had a great time!
