First Birthday CARNIVAL!!

Whew!! The last few months have been super busy!

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!
