We are back from our trip and had a wonderful time. I’ll write more on that later but for now I still have so much to share about A’s party and birthday. I have a one year old. Crazy!!

The party really turned out great. Mariona and I planned it together for A and LLuc. Since we normally get together once a week for craft time we spent the last two months using that time to make things for the party. We decided on a woodland forest theme centering around little animals and mushrooms. Then we started gathering inspiration and got busy.

Here are the things we made:

We made a bunch of felt animals as the cupcake toppers. They also made an appearance in the invitation video. These are half of them.

The felt and fabric mushrooms we used as decoration with wood logs and moss.

These adorable mushroom cookies that Mariona made we gave to all the guests.

Josh made these labels that we put on the water bottles as well as bubbles to give the kids.

On the water bottles.

And on the bubbles. The kid favors.

We attempted to make mushroom cake pops but they turned out to be a disaster. Oh well.

Above is a glimpse of the bunting banner, paper flowers, and circle paper garland we made.

We had a little area set up with pictures of them throughout their first year of life. I made the photo garland and on each months photo added something exciting that A did that month.

And finally we each made a birthday banner. Here is the English version that I made.

Now, I get to upload lots of party photos and share them. Stay tuned!
