Jacob's 1st Birthday Puppy Paw-ty

May 28, 2015

On Sunday, May 17th we were in New Jersey visiting family and we got to celebrate Jacob's birthday a few weeks early with family and friends there. 


Jacob's uncle Joe and aunt Caitlin hosted the party at their beautiful new home. 

I had so much fun crafting all the little details. 







We chose puppies for the theme, since Jacob loves his so much. I created a photo wall full of pictures of Jacob with his puppies. 

For favors I made puppy chow (sometimes called muddy buddies) for everyone to take home and enjoy! 

I had lots of help setting up all the streamers and balloons. 



We kept the food simple:
'pup'erroni pizza
chicken cutlets
pasta salad
garden salad
fruit
 chips and dip


Of course there was a smash cake for the birthday boy - which he hated






and 'pup'cakes for everyone else. 


Jacob had fun helping to open his presents. 











We had so much fun seeing everyone and celebrating. 








As luck would have it Jacob got sick earlier in the day and was running an almost 105 degree fever, but he was a trooper. He was very serious, but not too fussy. He didn't want to be far from Mom and Dad. 




We did end up at the hospital later that night, but it was just a virus that had to run it's course. 




Can't believe this little boy is almost 1!!
