Jackson's Birthday Party

His invitation wording said "Our little man is turning one, it would tickle his whiskers if you'd join him for some fun"

We had a "Little Man" birthday party for Jackson. Yes that is Jackson with a old time mustache on. I thought the theme turned out great and It was SO MUCH FUN planning a 1st birthday party when I was pregnant. I remember planning Nora's party and just not having any energy or not feeling well and not wanting to do anything. I felt since I dropped the ball on Nora's 1st Birthday Party I needed to go overboard with Jackson's. His was so fun. We played pin the mustache on Jackson, we had mustache chocolate popsicles, we had mustache cupcakes, we had mustache stickers....it was a pretty hairy party! I used a bunch of ideas and recipes I found on pinterest. I made

monster cookie cookie dough dip-delicious

chinese cabbage salad- also yummy

cooler corn - where you cook the corn in a igloo cooler- awesome

Then I used my cricut machine which Matt bought me a year ago and cut out a bunch of mustaches for the pin the mustache on Jackson game. I also had Kinkos make a huge engineer print of Jackson which is an inexpensive way to blow up a picture.

The treat bags had tootsie pops with mustaches on them, combs to brush their whiskers and had mustaches with their name on the bag.

I love actually getting to use my creative juices so this was so fun to do!
