Monkey's 1st Birthday

 A very "Girly" Monkey 1st Birthday!

For my little monkeys 1st birthday it was a must for a monkey themed party.  The challange?  Everything monkey I found was boy, not girl.  So I was on a creative hunt.

Grammy was on the birthday girls cake and might I add it was perfect!

My friend Jessica made the monkey face cake.  Both cakes were just perfect and exactly what I wanted.

Sisters sharing the yummy's!

I found these monkey masks at Oriental Trading Co.. I decided to have the masks instead of party hats and they were a huge hit with the kids.

We had our party outdoors on the lawn which worked out perfectly for the kids to run and play while the Moms & Dads visited.

I found all of my crafting supplies at Michaels for the banner.

For party favors:

I decorated pots and filled them with a planted bulb

Animal Crakers

Goody bags filled with various monkey themed toys and bubbles

Having the party outside I figured simple was best and everything turned out perfectly!

Ladybug Cake

This ladybug cake was for my baby girls 1st birthday, thank you Schott's Bakery!
It was amazing and tasted just as good as it looks.


For my youngest daughters 1st birthday, we decided last minute to have an out of town party for all my family that could not make it.  So what better than to travel 3 hours for a party in the park!  We had lot's of family, pizza, a pinata and this gorgeous cake!
