What a special birthday!
A few months ago, my colleague invited Paul, Ryan and me to join his family in a "box suite" at the circus! How a 10 month old would react to the circus, I didn't know. But seeing the circus in a "box suite" was certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity that we were not going to miss. Much to our surprise, Ryan was literally mesmerized by the circus. He loved the lights, animals, and music! That night, the theme for Ryan's first birthday was born!
On Sunday, 10/3 from 12-3pm, we celebrated Ryan's the big day with family and friends during circus themed extravaganza! I love party planning, but hadn't ever had the opportunity to plan a child's birthday party. SO MUCH FUN! We held the party at our local neighborhood park with wide open grassy space and beautiful views. We hired a "taco man" for ease (and FUN!). We had a parachute, riding toys, a ball pit, big balls, small balls, cupcakes, candy apples, cotton candy, popcorn, and most importantly, lots of friends and family to help celebrate the big milestone! Here are a few pictures from the special day.
Ryan loves his ball pit!
The parachute was popular!
It's my birthday and I can cry if I want to! Mom, I told you I don't like wearing the hat. Why did you put it on me?
Cupcakes! Chocolate, vanilla and coconut for Christy (I don't dare disappoint the pregnant woman) and my mom.
My cute little man! Makes my heart smile! P.S. I totally realize Ryan's pants are too small. . .you mean high waters aren't in style? Maybe he'll wear pants that fit for his next birthday party!
