D is a Party Animal

This is my son's 1st birthday with the theme of party animals. This is great generic theme because he hasn't showed in true interests of characters but we did know he loved to snuggle with his animals. So we collected all his favs and put party hats on the big stuffy's while I took little animal figures and hot glued paper hats with mini pom poms. Took some pictures before hand to print off some pictures to frame along our table and hang up as a poster to collaborate the theme. We had family and neighbors over to celebrate my little guy and served hot ham and cheese roll sandwiches with sides, served cupcakes and let the kids get wet using our swings with PVC pipe being connected to our house and make a water slide. The pool had blow up animal beach balls to play along with our water tables for the other littles. As a take home gift we made mason jars with hot glued animal figures all painted black or white filled with animal crackers.
