ONE

Well, Griffin is obviously only going to turn one once, so I had to throw a party for my boy!

We had an airplane theme, and if you know me, I go a little crazy with themes so I had a blast.
I can say that now that it's all over and I'm back to going to bed at a decent hour and not stressing out.

It was so fun to have a party with both of our families and lots of friends. Griffin was so spoiled although his favorite thing to play with was of course the boxes and paper.

I went a little crazy with the treats and I was on a sugar high for a good 3 days while I was baking everything.

We had truffles, caramel and chocolate dipped pretzels, airplane shaped sugar cookies, cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies and brownie bites. At one point my dad said, "Lindsey, what kind of a party is this? You don't have any ice cream?!" Sorry Dad.
I wish I could say that I made the cake, but I'm not a caker so I had it made by someone who knew what they were doing.

We had favors including pinwheels, little toy airplanes, peanuts and airplane candy.

And of course we had to let Griff dive into some cake. He loved having everyone sing to him!

He had no problem going to town on the cupcake. He even picked it up and clapped with it in his hands. This kid loves to clap!
Going along with the theme we also had an "In Flight Movie" which was a picture/video montage of the first year of Griffin's life. My friend Cortney and I made it. Well more like I just told Cort what order to put everything in and she came up with the music and used her mad skills on the MAC to complete it. I cry everytime I watch it! Thanks Cort!
It was a wonderful celebration for our sweet Griffin. It's been the best year ever, so how could we not want to celebrate? Thanks to everyone that came. It meant so much to have the ones we love there with us!

Gosh! The party looked beautiful! Too bad it was a one-time deal and you couldn't leave it up for longer. Impressed as always!
