Conor Parties Like It's His Birthday

Conor had a sweet party on his birthday!  His day started out a little rough - he woke up with a fever, but after a dose of Tylenol, he seemed to perk up and enjoyed having people around.

We spiffied up the place and invited family and friends to come celebrate his first year.

The theme was banners dinosaurs, mostly because we call him "Conorsaurus", but also because I really liked these invitations:

The cake was delicious and I thought it turned out adorable - love the clouds!

There was also a candy buffet for guests to enjoy as a party favor.  I accidentally (cough) overestimated the amount of candy we would need.

Conor decorated some prizes.

Things got a little crazy and Conor ended up with a bowl on his head.  (He puts on his bowl helmet a lot these days.)

 I made party hats for everyone, and a special one for the birthday boy.

Then right before we sang "Happy Birthday", my camera battery died.  I got a few shots with the backup camera before those batteries died, too.  Conor was rather cautious with his birthday cake - he really didn't do any smashing but did enjoy eating the frosting.

sugar buzz....blahhhhhhhhh

It was a great party and he really enjoyed playing with his fun new toys and hanging out with his family and friends!  Can't wait for #2!!!
