Max's Peter Rabbit First Birthday Party

Well, i guess i should start by saying that life got in the way i did not start this blog the way i wanted. But it is still something i want to do, and i am planning on trying harder this time! Anyway, Max celebrated his first birthday on April 25th! I cannot believe time literally flies this fast when you are a parent; it seems like just yesterday he would sleep on my chest all day and now he barely lets me hold him, sigh. We held Max's party on Saturday the 26th and it turned out great! I was really pleased with the end result even though planning a child's birthday party is harder than i imagined.

I loved these precious little goody buckets. Carrot shaped chocolates, Peter Rabbit puzzles and and bubbles all in a cute tin pail.

The food table. Thankfully Max's nursery is decorated in a Peter Rabbit theme, so i had lots of decorations all ready at my disposable. The banner (which i am obsessed with) is by Rifle Paper co.
