We
We’ve invited a bunch of his little superhero mates, as well as some relatives and family friends. And my father-in-law even flew down for the occasion! What a lucky little boy ๐

The preparation leading up to the party was the most EPIC I haveย ever done for my kids’ birthdays… because almost NOTHING was store-bought.
Yep. Super un-crafty and un-creative me actually did a whole bunch of DIY stuff (basically all the decor) to mark the occasion of Carter’s 1st birthday party. I even managed to wrangle in help from my Dad, Chris, and Chris’ Dad ๐
That picture above of our table centerpiece? Looks fairly simple but HOOBOY the amount of effort taken to produce that! *faint* But all the DIY shennanigans will be saved for a blog entry on a later day.
Pray for us that the weather holds up and it doesn’t rain… because it’s aย pool party!!!!

It’s Isaiah’s first birthday party today too! Think they are born on (almost) the same day? Ice came into the world on 6 Aug last year ๐
Have a great one! Hope the weather stays great! Fingers, toes and eyes crossed! ๐
