Mack's First Birthday

I don't know how it is possible but we have celebrated Mack's first birthday! We had such a fun day and most importantly Mack had a great day.  He had no idea why we had so many people at our house but he just toddled around investigating everything.    

  Since motherhood has drained my brain of all things creative lately we went with a lumberjack themed party. #everybodyisdoingit The theme was perfect for Mack because we served pancakes {thank you Village Inn for making SIXTY pancakes} and eggs. Two foods that Mack has never turned down!    

  I tried not to go too over the top with decorations but couldn't completely help myself.  Over Christmas I bought some red buffalo check wrapping paper that I used as a table runner.  Those burlap runners are from our rehearsal dinner which have turned out to be a good purchase! 

I wanted to somehow incorporate Mack's basket pictures and they fit perfect on a burlap banner I already had.  I looked everywhere for red buffalo check fabric for the banner and it was all sold out.  Because #everybodysdoingit :) I had to settle for gingham and I know I'm crazy because it really bothered me. haha  Up next is Mack's "smash" cake.  He was not interested... we have learned that he doesn't like getting his hands dirty...

and then he was DONE!

I also made cupcakes and forgot to take any pictures of them at the party... So this is the left overs 2 days later.  #hellowillpower  

  Alright y'all I am trying to brainstorm some non-mack posts... I so badly want to get back to some home remodel, decorating, DIYs and baking posts.  Moms that keep blogging with babies are something special!
