Clark's 1st Birthday Party

Clark turned 1 on the 25th of November!  We combined his party with his cousin, Corbin, who is 9 days older than Clark.  I did a Woodland Creatures theme to the party decor.  We borrowed these logs from a kind neighbor who had cut a tree down this summer.  We gathered the owls and bears from the kids' rooms, the greenery is a wreath that I bought from the Christmas decor at Target and my Sister-in-law (Corbin's mommy) brought the birthday balloons.

We chose food for the lunch that the boys would like: Rolls baked with parmesan cheese with sliced apples & bananas and a fruit dip.

2 soups made by our Moms.  Chicken Noodle & Baked Potato

My sister-in-law made these acorns with hershey kisses, mini nutter-butters, and a peanut butter chip glued together with peanut butter and chocolate frosting. Yum!

I made these acorns with donut holes dipped in frosting and then in sprinkles with a pretzel stick in the middle. 

The birthday boys eating lunch:

Opening their piles of gifts! I bought their matching shirts at Gymboree this summer for around $2 a piece.  They both wore a long-sleeved shirt underneath, camo pants (that I just happened to have in 2 sizes that fit them) and they both had mohawks.

All the kids wanted in on the present opening fun too.

Waiting for their cupcakes.  Not really sure what is happening.

Corbin dug right in, but Clark wasn't so sure and definitely did not like all the attention.

In between bouts of whining to get me to hold him, he'd take tiny bites of his cupcake if I fed it to him.  No huge cake messes from this boy.
Happy 1st Birthday Clark!  We love you!
