We obtained the prospect to have fun candy Duke’s first party just a few weeks in the past. The first Celebration is such a milestone for us to have fun our yr with our miracle child. In case you are new right here, you possibly can examine our prolonged IVF journey to get to each Otis and Duke so this primary birthday is one other one to have fun. One thing actually particular about this get together is that it was the primary party for our children in our new house, surrounded by our households. Our households have beforehand not been there for birthdays as a result of we lived to date in order that made this one that rather more magical.

Since we all the time name Duke “Mr. Smiles” I knew the theme for his party immediately: Smiley Face Theme. Candy similar to him! Smiley face equipment are fairly straightforward to return by so I knew it will be a breeze to get all the pieces collectively for it. You understand how a lot we love a balloon arch on this home and Blake is mainly an skilled at balloon arches now. I believe he may truly get pleasure from it dare I say!!

We ordered bbq and I made a cheese and veggie board to munch on. I used to be initially going to make the truffles however I ran out of time and determined to organize them from a neighborhood bakery. Fortunately, I talked to the sweetest woman who blended some blueberries into the vanilla batter as a result of Duke LOVES blueberries.

Duke ate HIS WHOLE SMASH CAKE. He likes to eat so a lot and I don’t suppose I’ve ever seen a child eat a smash cake like Duke has. After his cake, he moved onto spherical 2 or BBQ. I simply love his pure pleasure and what I like is that whereas 1st birthday events are extra for the mother and father, I KNOW FOR A FACT that Duke loved it a lot. We love you endlessly candy Dukey.
