Colten Turns One!

(still working on 2011 catch-up posts...)

Hard to believe that our baby is already one!
Colten turned one on August 30,
and we threw a Dr Seuss party for him on Sept 3.



I have been just a little obsessed with the turquoise
and red color combination lately,
so I had a lot of fun with this party!



(The Dr Seuss printables came from the Etsy shop Photo Designz)

I made some cat-in-the-hat cupcakes and
tried my hand at fondant for Colten's smash cake.
(I found a recipe for marshmallow fondant on Pinterest and
used that for the smash cake. It was a little messy to make,
but much cheaper than buying it and
I could make it any color I wanted.)



I made a photo banner with Colten's monthly pictures.
I used photoshop to convert the pictures to black and white and
just colored in the number on his onesies.
In fact, I loved it so much that it is now on display in his room!


I also made him a special hat and shirt.
I wasn't sure how Chris would react to the foo-foo hat but he obliged me!!




Big brother had to wear the hat too!


After some lunch and presents, it was time for cake!




















Happy Birthday to our precious baby boy! We Love You!!
