Happy Happy 1st Birthday Scotty!

On Saturday we celebrated Scott's 1st birthday!
We had a circus themed party that I had so much fun planning.
Thank you to all our friends who came to celebrate with us!

the menu:
popcorn and candy (like the circus of course)
fruit bruschetta on cinnamon sugar toasts
stuffed peppers (the colors matched the theme!)
mini pulled pork sliders

We played a "Who Knows Scott Best" game and made a movie with a lot of the footage from Scott's first year and had it playing during the party. We had SO many videos of Scott to sort through to make the movie.
We finally cut the movie down to 45 minutes. Hence having it playing the background.
It would have been slightly cruel to make the entire party watch an hour long movie of Scott doing things like tummy time and looking at his bird mobile for the first time.

 Cupcakes and Scott's smash cake!
My Mom used to make us little cakes like this when we were kids.
This year for Christmas she got me my own set of mini pans to make a cake for Scott!
(Me on my first birthday. True story that my ears were too big for my face until age 12.)
the birthday boy himself!

and last but not least...
the cake smash!

He loved his cake. No extreme reaction really. 
He just casually ate it like it was what was for dinner. 

Happy Birthday Scott!
You really are the greatest boy on earth in my book!
