Lincoln Logs his 1st Birthday

Giving our son the name Lincoln, I knew I would need to do a Lincoln Logs themed first birthday party. The decorations all stemmed from a Lincoln Log Cabin fabric I found on Etsy, with which I made the highchair banner and "Happy Birthday" banner. I also used strips from this and other brown/green/gray fabrics for banners, mobiles and photo garlands. Red camping lanterns, evergreen trees, wood slices and 3-D paper fire centerpieces rounded out the look!
