Happy Birthday Dayton!

My sweet baby boy is one! I can't believe it. Reality check, time is flying by! Everyone told me it would, and they were all right. Every last one of them. My baby isn't a baby anymore. He's walking, doing a little talking, drinking out of sippy cups, and eating toddler meals. He's growing up too fast! But alas, here it is. My baby's first birthday party.

Dayton's first birthday party was a HUGE deal to me. I mean, this is our first kid having his first birthday. We made it through one year and kept him alive! Haha, kidding! But seriously. Dayton has to be the easiest going kid on the planet earth. He made this parenting thing look and feel easy for us. (I'm a little afraid of what baby baby #2 might be like.) So, thank you sweet baby D, you'e made my life so easy as a mama (so far)!

Anyways, like I said, this party was a huge deal to me and I spent countless hours scouring Pinterest and the internet for ideas to make it absolutely perfect. I wanted to remember every single moment of his party. If you know me, you know I love planning parties. I love all the little details! I just wanted his party to be extra special for him and us. I think it turned out pretty well!

We threw Dayton's party on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 pm. This let us get through nap time so we would have a non-cranky kiddo. Here is his invitation. I ordered his invitation from etsy at this shop.

I decided to not have a themed birthday party, other than colors. Let's be honest, when I throw a themed party I want Dayton to remember it. He's turning one, not five. A color theme was a perfect way for me to still have all my cutsie party details, but still be somewhat practical. His colors were orange, blue, white, and grey - just like his room and previous photo sessions.

We were so happy to have family and friends come to Dayton's party. It just shows you how many people love your little one. Thank you to those of you who came to celebrate our main man!
