Party Recap

When my son was born on his due date, 7-11, I knew his first party had to be a gas station themed bash! We transformed our backyard into a neighborhood 7-11, complete with cozy coupes for the kids to drive, a gas pump and convenience store with grocery carts to shop, a self serve nacho bar and dessert table complete with gas station treats: donuts served in the box, cookies for ice cream sandwiches and mini cupcakes. The lime green ombre smash cake took center place complete with a green, orange and red "Landon is One" cake banner. Touches of green, red and orange could be found in the decor like the pegboard Happy Birthday Landon display and slurpee banners and decorations were used to display the First birthday milestone pictures.
