Yesterday we had a
blast celebrating our little man's 1st birthday!
Here is the invite
that was sent to our closest friends and family. Thank you, Kristine Schroeder,
for your amazing talent...she is AH-MAZING...seriously! Let me know if you want
her info...she can do anything!
The "lootin'" table...cowboy cookie mix for the
adults, cowboy hats and stick ponies for the kids...thank you, Natasha!
Cowboy cookie mix with the rubberband guns that
were in the "L.T. Lofgren Shootin; Range"...unfortunately I didn't get a picture
of the shooting range I set up. :o(
The centerpieces...thank you Trader Joe's for
all of the FREE sunflowers...yes, there is a story behind that!
Good ol' drinking water...I made the labels
myself, using Microsoft Word...so easy!
Around our patio I hung photos of Landry's
first year, using twine from the Dollar Tree, clothespins I already had, and
scrapbook paper I had as well.
Landry's birthday banner...with the help of my
wonderful Silhouette machine, I was able to transform paper lunch sacks and old
scrapbook paper into this...
The grub...we had "Tumbleweed tri-tip,"
"chuckwagon chili," "stampedin' strawberries," "buckaroo broccoli slaw," and
"rawhide rolls."
The "sweet stuff"...Landry's cake is on top,
then cupcakes from Vons...thank you Vons for rescuing me from my cupcake
crisis..."Landry's Lassos" - a.k.a. red ropes, and "brandin' irons" - a.k.a.
chocolate covered pretzels. All of the food labels and cupcake toppers I also
made using Microsoft word and my stash of scrapbook paper!
The birthday boy's cake...cowboy hat cake
topper I ordered off of Etsy!
The "wanted" gallery! I created a wanted poster
for every guest at the party. For example, "WANTED: Dale "Nawnie"
Kruser...crime: spoiling the birthday boy!" It was a huge hit. Everyone loved
reading what their "crime" was...so much that most of them took their poster
with them! :o)
The sign on our front door...
and the sign on the door as our guests were on
their way out...again, both were created using Microsoft Word and my scrapbook
stash!
Our sweet, little family!
Sheriff Daddy...I made our shirts with iron on
transfers...mine said Sheriff Mommy...duh!
It was a great day filled with lots of love and fun as we celebrated our little one turning one!
