Ethan's Monkey Party

We had some fabulous weather this past weekend, sunny, warm and timed just right for Ethan's first birthday party.  His actual birthday isn't for another week, but this coming weekend when we would have had his party is going to be busy.  We have the churches 30th Anniversary all weekend and a wedding on Saturday too, so there is no way we could have squeezed it in.  I'm just glad that I can say that he is almost one just a little longer.

Decorations

Ruffled streamers ( Yes I sewed them and yes I love them), you can find the tutorial here. 

I'm not sure what Andrew is doing with the blue plate in the air.

The spread, thanks everyone.

Happily sitting with Mommy.

After we ate and opened presents, the kids were all busting at the seams to escape the house, so we all went outside and watched them play where it was cooler.

Much cooler.

Playing with the water and sand boxes.

They were are very wet but happy.

It was a wonderful afternoon spent with family celebrating my baby boys first year (almost).
