AWing: Brody's 1st birthday! (PIP heavy)

Because I'm NOTD and can AW to my heart's content....

Brody had a great first birthday party! It was held at MIL's house on New Years Day. It was a small, family even with all of Brody's grandparents there, as well as his aunt and uncle. There wasn't really a theme -- just bright, bold colors for the decorations, a "Rocket" cake (from Little Einsteins) that Keith swears up and down he made (I think he's being a big fat liar on this one), a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cupcake tower that I made, and his very own smash cake made from my favorite local bakery. Brody loved being the center of attention, and LOVED eating his cake. We all started laughing when he smashed into  it, which made him cry because I think we scared him. Once I showed him that the frosting was yummy, he was all aboout it! 20 minutes later he was in the living room "running" from person to person, all while squealing in delight. I think it was safe to say he was on a sugar high! He received some wonderful gifts, including a new flannel quilt from his granny (my mom) and a family zoo membership from his great-grandparents (my grandparents who couldn't make it)
 
I will say that next year I'll be doing my own birthday party for Brody. Keith was so fake, acting like "dad of the year" and it just irritated me. And then his mom was acting like there was nothing wrong too, and that was annoying as well. I get that we didn't need to get into a dicussion about it, or anything, but don't be fake to my face. Of course I didn't say anything and put a smile on my face because it was all about Brody, but I won't be doing a joint party again. Maybe later, when he's older, but no time in the near future.
 
Overall, it was a good party. Brody was spoiled rotten, he had a great time and LOVED being the center of attention. My baby boy is 1 year old!

  • Well we can always dream right? Seriously that cake is pretty intense, the frosting job is way too good for a guy, unless he's a baker or something.

    That's exactly what I said (about the frosting). His reply was "Well, I finish drywall all the time and that's the same thing. It has to be super smooth". Whatever. I didn't get into the fact that there were multiple frosting colors, clouds on the main part of the cake, etc. I totally think that him and his little "friend" (who he still won't admit to) made it. Although, he was getting pretty ticked and defensive when I was giving him crap for not making the cake himself.....
     
    Either way, the cake was really cute and Brody does love that show. So, that's what really matters! Oh, and the Rocket was actually Rice Krispie Treats, not cake....

  • Really a rice crispy rocket... sounds like a professional made the cake. Do you know how hard that is to sculpt. I would be irritated like you too.

  • What great pictures Amanda! He is seriously so adorable! Such a handsom little man!

    I agree - no way Keith made that cake. Though the cupcakes are way cute! And I love the smash cake pictures!!!!

  • Great photos! All the colors are so vibrant and it looks like Brody had a lot of fun (minus the cake crying). The cake is great, but I agree, no way that Keith made that on his own.
