It was lots of fun to plan & to make all the fun star & "J" decorations. We used the colors teal & brown since they are his nursery colors. We had star cookie favors w/ "J" & "1" cut out in them. The favor label said, "Thanks for joining in the fun as Jackson Levi turned one!" Grandma made carrot cake cupcakes with stars & "J"s cut out of fondant for the cupcake topper. I did the Jones bottles again for Jackson with the customized label (his picture with "Jackson's 1st Birthday" & the date) & used these to tie the baloons for centerpiece decorations. Aunt Jennifer made a cute onesie for Jackson that had a star & a "J" on the faux tie along with a "1" on the back. We did the photo banner with his years worth of pictures & other star & "J" hanging decorations. Isabella helped paint some paper mache stars that we hung up on the wall & 2 star lids that we put "J"s on for decorations. She was excited to be a part of his birthday prep!
We celebrated the big day with friends & family.
Jackson was intrigued by the happy birthday song... I don't think he'd ever heard so many people sing at once! He enjoyed eating his cupcake once he figured out what he was suppose to do with it! At first he just turned it around in his hands & kept putting it down when he felt the icing on his hands. He ended up eating pretty much all of the cupcake. :)
Jackson received a lot of cool & fun gifts from our lovely friends & family. We are excited to have some boy toys (cars, trucks, baseball game, etc) so Jackson won't have to play with princesses & dolls (not that there is anything wrong with that!). He also received some cute clothes!
As you can see, his birthday party was a huge success! We all had lots of fun celebrating Jackson's first year!

You really go all out for your parties! They are always fun to attend! When the kids get bigger you could put parties together as a part time job! It was great to share Jackson's first birthday with you guys!
Great job at the party Leslie!!! Such cute decorations. I know the kids will look back at pics and be tickled later on, even it they don't remember it. Thanks for inviting us!!!
