Birthday Party Preparation

Everett will be ONE on Thursday!!! I think I want to sob at this fact. He's going to be a toddler. I want him to be my little infant for just a little while longer.

I feel like I have been working on his birthday preparations for so long. For the past month while balancing work, taking care of Everett, and keeping up on household duties, I've managed to throw in time to create his party decor and to complete several test runs of cake pops, cupcakes, and chocolate-dipped pretzel rods. The cake pops and chocolate-dipped pretzels are good for a few days so I plan on making them within the next day or so. Cupcakes will have to be the night before.

Here is a glimpse on the making of the cupcake toppers:
I look forward to hanging and setting out all the party decor and seeing what it all looks like. Maybe I'll realize that I'm a little crafty after all? I'm not creative by any means and I think that is a requirement to craftiness. My husband said it all looked great but he's supposed to tell me that.

I am so very excited to get together with close friends and family this weekend to celebrate the accomplishment of my little's mans first year!
