Mason's First Birthday Party

Our little man turned one!  We went all out and had a Hungry Little Caterpillar themed party.  It was a blast.  Here are a few pics from Mason's special day:  

The birthday boy!

 My mom helped me make regular and small sized cupcakes for the caterpillars body.  A round cake made his head.  We used colored frosting, jelly beans and pipe cleaners to fashion his eyes and antennas.

 I made chocolate covered Oreos to put in a terra cotta pot.  I put the green foam for floral arrangements in the bottom and topped that with paper grass.  I just stuck the pops in.  A how-to on making Oreo pops on another post.

 To highlight each day of the week and what the caterpillar ate, I purchased the appropriate flavor Jelly Belly's and made little signs to put into the jelly bean containers (i.e. Wednesday had plum Jelly Belly's).

 Another fun way to highlight the days of the week was to put little caterpillars in mason jars with construction paper fruit.  It made fun toys for the kids.

 Of course, I had to have a hanging caterpillar!

 I displayed my first birthday cards. Hurray for my  mom who saved them all these years!

 The birthday sign and also a framed photo for each month of Mason's life.  The largest frame was his one year old photo.

 Juice boxes and fruit packs for the kids along with some bug catchers.

The food table!
