A Whale of a Tale

For Mason's 1st birthday we had a whale theme. I had rented the room and pool at the YMCA for us and a few of our friends (26 to be exact).
The center pieces where fish bowls with pebbles and little whale erasers I found at the dollar store. Then we stuck the cake cookies in the middle and surrounded it with blue "waves" and starfish and seashells.
The food table was all about blue. We had blue baskets full of chips, star bowls filed with gold fish, bottled water, and submarine sandwiches. My mom made this awesome sign. It is so dang cute I loved it.
We played a couple of games: whale walk, and starfish ring toss.

My boys!
The cake: It was so much easier to do a cookie! He loved it and ate the whole thing.

Grandma Mitchell was able to come out for the party.
The presents.

Mason's girlfriend Paygie. They get so excited when they see each other.
Thanks everyone for the presents, and for coming to the party. We had a great time!!

Mischievous Mason

He may look all sweet and innocent....
But we don't call him Mischievous Mason for nothing!!
Notice the cupboard doors and the granola bars spread around.
Emma has this ribbon twirling thing that he loves to put the end of it in his mouth and then walk around with the ribbon following behind.
Q-tips and other items scattered about my bathroom.
And of course the favorite bowl cupboard. Try cooking dinner with all these bowls under your feet :)
