Liam's 1st Birthday has been and gone and all in a bit of a whirlwind I must say. I did take the week off prior to it just so I could prepare. I now wish I had taken the week off after it too just to recover.
Here are the photos as they tell the story better.
Liam in his new outfit. I made the train on the T-shirt. Sewed on by hand one night last week. I loved how it turned out. Especially with the red wheels.
Decorations for the party. The train is definitely my favourite thing. It is a Kaiser Craft Train that I decorated. Filled the Engine with straws and had it near the drinks. Filled the carriages up with Easter Eggs as it was Easter Sunday.
The Bunting was made by Emma it was perfect and I love it so much I want to put it up in the house somewhere instead of stuffed in a box never to be seen again.
The mobile was made using a pdf I brought from nickwilljack on etsy. I also made the invites from this too. There was so many things you could make using this pdf it was fantastic. What's a party without lolly bags? The tops of them are from the same pdf.
The cake was the Train cake from the original Women's Weekly Kids Cake book. I thought oh yeah this will be easy enough to do. 3 and a half hours later it wasn't easy it was painful. I'm just grateful that Rocky helped me with the cutting and decorating of the whole cake. I think it would of taken me 6 hours to do. We gave a small piece to Liam to eat. I dont think much actually got in his mouth but he just licked alot of the icing.
The Presents!!
Liam got a whole winter wardrobe, lots of books, a few toys, a very cool 'ride on' fire engine (which he is still trying to work out how to use) and an Ikea table and chair set.
His party was a success I was pretty happy in how it all turned out.
Thanks to everyone that came and made it a very special day for Liam.
