Monkeying Around

We celebrated Jake's first birthday with a small get-together with some neighbors and friends. Since my skinny, long-limbed, big-eared little guy reminds me of a little monkey, I decided to go with a monkey theme for his party. And what a nice little party it was...

This usually procrastinating mommy was very proud of herself for beginning the planning of this party more than a week ahead of time. Thinking about it early actually allowed me some time to get some cute decorations. I found these silly little monkey wall decals online:

We continued with the monkey theme with a yummy little monkey cake as well....

...however, someone had a very hard time waiting to sample it...

When it was time for the birthday boy to dig in, he was less than thrilled about the sticky frosting and didn't want much to do with the cake, but we still got some cute pictures:


We set up the bounce house, which Jake absolutely loved...especially since he was surrounded by pretty girls while in it.



It was a very nice time having fun with people we love, and we were very honored they would take the time to help us celebrate this important milestone.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET JACOB!

Here's to many more amazing birthdays to come....
