Soon we will celebrate baby Henry’s FIRST birthday! It will be really casual, family and friends in our backyard, not a total kid party. We are having early in the day with brunch food because well its so darn hot! So we will have muffins, kolaches, and LOTS of cold watermelon. And no huge birthday cake, just cupcakes.
Weeks ago,yes I am serious, I layed out what I had (an old banner of Drew’s, fabric scraps, etc..) to see what I had and what I needed….I began hoarding napkins from Target before they were snatched up in the Fourth of July frenzy….oh how I love those red polka dot napkins!
I must say, I was very happy when I discovered I was pregnant with Henry and due in July (aside from the scary thought of being largely pregnant in the Texas heat). I hate the heat but I love the Fourth of July and the thought of a little Star Spangled baby boy made me very happy and still does… So lots of flags..I’ve even been tea staining them…yes, I am serious. And loving the “American summer” theme which involves a little circus/carnival, a little retro/vintage, silhouettes, and a little July 4th rolled in one…its the mish mash theme/non-theme. Of course I totally made that up!
And then the invitation of course. More on that to come.
