TRUE TURNS ONE: MILK & COOKIES PARTY

You all know I love a good themed birthday party, and Ellen delivered the goods this weekend celebrating her son, True's first birthday.  We got the call about True's birth while we were in Thailand, and this year, it was fun to ring it in with him!

Theme for the party: Milk and Cookies.  It turned out wonderfully.

Here's the door - that is actually salt in the milk jugs.

Milk Table.  (That is actually milk to drink and not fake salt milk.  In case you were concerned.)

Cookie Table.  I didn't get a picture of all the different kinds of cookies.  There were 8 or more to choose from.

Plus cupcakes and milk mustaches.  There were healthy food options as well, but the picture isn't as cute, so I am not showing those.

She had wanted to do a chalkboard with some of his stats and favorite things.  We decided at the last minute to write on the mirror with a dry erase marker.  It turned out really cute.  (P.S.  It was hard to photograph, and I made up the stats since he hasn't had his one year appointment yet.)

People came in droves to celebrate.

Then, it was cake time - an important rite of passage for any one year old.  True was obviously stoked about it.  He is the smiliest baby in the world.

The fire made him a bit nervous.

He did recover and enjoy the cake once he realized it was pure, sugary fun and that his mother would let her eat it off of her fingers.

On the way out, people were instructed to sign the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" book.

And grab a cookie, made by yours truly.

It was so fun to be there and celebrate - Happy Birthday baby True!

We were at his dedication at church, and I couldn't get over how much him and Bella look alike! He's so cute!
