Bronsons Dr Seuss Party

So, we had Bronsons 1st Birthday party here at my house the other night. I did a Dr.Seuss theme. It turned out SO cute-thanks to my mom and sister Ashley of course :) It wasn't anything too amazing, cuz we could have done LOTS of fun stuff.. but with that is more $. And I figure he is 1, he wont remember anyways! But we did what we could, and I loved it. It still was pretty awesome for a 1 yr old! We just invited our immediate family, and with the Edwards side that was still about 40 people! And I think everyone- especially all the kids had fun! They swam, did sprinklers, did pin the hat on the cat, hit a pinata.. lots of treats and food! It was a blast!

This was the invite Ashley made and we sent out. Turned out fun I think! (Sorry the picture looks really bad, but I scanned it in, and it was bent so it left weird things all over on his face, and cut off some words!)

Here is a picture of my backyard before the party..

The food tables..


My mom made a Pin The Hat on The Cat game.. So cute! And I must say I really like the "trees" we made. They look like the ones in all the books right?

Pink Yink Ink Drink (aka rasberry lemonade)

Thing 1 and Thing 2 cupcakes..(I made red velvet cupcakes, we frosted them blue, then put blue cotton candy on the top to look like their hair!) Big hit with the kids, but a little messy!

The cotton candy started to melt, and they only looked cute for a little bit, but still.. Fun!

I also put out Hop on Pop Otter Pops :) And cute playdough ice cream!

Yot in a Pot ( Baked Beans from Grandma Morgan )

Schlotts Knotts (Moms yummy rolls..)

Diffendoofer Fruit Salad ( Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Edwards)

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (Jello Jigglers, also another hit with the kids)

Poodles with Noodles ( Two YUMMY pasta salads, thanks to Cami and Heidi)

Yurtle The Turtle Caramels ( SO good.. thanks to Ashley) Super easy to make too!

And of course, Green Eggs and Ham! (Ham from Grandma and Grandpa Franklin, and Deviled eggs from Emily, and Addie)

I like this picture.. I know they are green, but they still were delicious!

And the messy Thing 1.

He looks like such a nerd in this outfit, but its his pj bottoms, and he was going to bed soon. haha

And again.. the blue frosting.. was a hit.. I wish you could see JD's hands, they were completely blue! What a cute picture though!

Bronson and Jax chillin..

Ok.. so maybe the blue food coloring was not the best idea.. haha. But, once again I love this picture of Mollie.

Horton Hears a Who Pinata.. the kids loved it.

And yes, my husband stood right ther and held it up. Almost got his head wacked off, but we survived. It was so cute, all the kids stood around waiting their turn, and chanted the persons name over and over while it was their turn. So fun!

Uncle Dane and Bronson's Turn

Ok, so he didn't do too well, but Dane ended up breaking it for everyone.

Here is his #1 cake, inspired by the cat in the hat. Turned out cute, but we could not get it out of the pan, so it stayed in it. :)

Bronson eagerly awaiting..

And waited in style..

I have more pics but I cant find my camera to download them, but you get the idea.. These Pictures were all that Ashley my photograhper sister took.. she is amazing( check her website out milesofmemories.blogspot.com)! Anyways, thanks so much to everyone who came, for all the awesome presents, and for all the yummy food! It really was way fun, but I dunno if Bronson will be having one that big in a long time! Ha ha. But, he is worth it. I Cant believe he is 1!!!
