Luke turns 1

On August 4th our sweet Luke celebrated his first birthday! His party was Saturday and I have to say it was one of the most fun of all the parties I have put together. I chose an under the sea theme to celebrate our first kiddo blessed with a summer birthday! Of course summer means being outside, having picnics and lots of water fun!! We had some great friends over to celebrate and everyone had a fun time.

The Birthday Boy!

The Birthday Banner I made! I LOVED this. So amazing to see Luke's growth and development over the last 12 months! And very fun for the guests to look at.

Party Decor and the spread. I made star fish sandwiches, ham and cheese sliders, sea shell pasta salad, fruit kabobs with sea foam dip, ocean punch and also served wavy lays, goldfish and sea animal crackers to play up the theme.
