On November 16, Josiah turned 1 year old. Where in the world is the time going? It never ceases to amaze me how quickly our kids are changing and growing right before our eyes.
We celebrated Josiah's birthday on Saturday (Nov 19) with a Sesame Beginnings bash. Josiah is a big fan of the Sesame Street babies so the theme was a no-brainer. I had so much fun with all of the decorations and bringing everything together. Jenetta pointed me to a etsy.com where I was able to get the invitation and other decorations designed for a great price. Then I just got to work printing, cutting, glueing and stapling and before I knew it, everything came together.
We had little gift bags for the kids who attended and some special Sesame Beginnings books in gift bags for the babies that joined us as well. I loved the gift bag tags!
All of the water bottles said "Happy Birthday Josiah" with pictures of the Sesame Street babies.
The Elmo Walker Balloon was a big hit! I was worried that Josiah might be scared of it, but he absolutely loved it!
One of our friends, Erin Pillsbury, made Josiah a Sesame Street shirt with the #1 on it. I need to get a better picture of it. But it was the perfect finishing touch. Thank you Erin!!
Watching a child experience cake for the first time is usually quite fun. Josiah's initial reaction, however, wasn't quite was we were expecting...
But once he got over his hands being so dirty and actually tasted the cake, he was all smiles once again. :)
Happy Birthday Josiah!
