1st Birthday Bash, FINALLY!!

So I am clearly extremely behind, but I am FINALLY getting this Birthday post done. The party was fun, hectic, and over waaaaay to fast. We had it at my parents house, mine is barely big enough for the 7 of us. The theme was primary polka dots, I love polka dots and it was very gender neutral.

First, the invitation. I searched FOREVER trying to find a invitation for quads without much luck. I came across this website, Amy's Card Creations, and she was able to make it work.

I found this great website for polka dot birthdays where I ordered a banner. If you are looking for ANYTHING polka dot visit http://www.polkadotbirthday.com/ or http://www.polka-dot-market.com/ Her name is Sally and she has a blog and a store.
As far as the rest of the decorations, I got the table covers from target and my mother in law made the center pieces. I found little tin pails for like $1.00 a piece and she painted them with polka dots, I loved them!!


The cake was awesome!! We had 1 big cake and 4 tiny. One of the baby cakes kind of took a hit from the corner of the box, but it didn't make much difference once you see the end product.

We attempted to get group shots of the 4, but seriously, now that they are mobile it is a joke. We got them each their own embroidered chair. We tried to have them sit in them during presents, that was funny. They just kept tumbling out of them one after another. Casey, Colin and I opened all of the loot and boy are they SPOILED!!!! Everyone was so generous, I am horrible and am yet to send out my thank yous. I am sorry for the delay, stop yelling at me mom, i can hear you.

The cake was an interesting experience. They all reacted pretty differently. Sam was MAD!!! He wanted nothing to do with anything or anyone, not a great nap that day. Ethan and Addie were both pretty quiet, just looking around trying to figure out what the heck was going on. Cooper, oh Cooper. He is an awesome eater. He ate almost half of his cake and LOVED it as you will see below.

The group

In case anyone would like to know, I had the boys shirts made by a woman on etsy.com You can check her out here. I regret not getting one for Addie. I had it in my head that she needed to wear a dress so i bought her one at target.

At the end of a very long and tiring day, we loaded the burb up and headed home. It was over before I could really enjoy myself, but I guess it wasn't really about me. Here is a final shot of each one ready to go home and hit the sac. Thanks to all who came to celebrate, I promise you will get a thank you very soon!!!

A much happier Sam
