Liam's first Birthday Party!

LIAM IS ONE! This past week we had a big party for Liam. Here are all my pictures from the planning to the party!
To make a dog cake...



piece it together


Frost it blue






Add some polka dots



Add the details... eyes, ears, collar, nose.





ta da!



Adult cake number 1 (our first attempt at fondant icing)


Adult cake number 2
we figured out how to cover more space with the fondant







Decorations
(Hey Jeni, Calvin was a centerpeice, He looked super cute next to Liam's picture.)


I finished Liam's baby book and albums of pictures from this past year so that people could check out how he has grow and all he has done this past year.

Party favorm table: Doggy bags of Puppy chow
Thanks to Cece and Kyle who let us borrow some BIG stuffed puppies! They were so cute.

Napkins with dog names on them

and dog charms on the bow

Pinata
I made it with 4 balloons and some wire
I had forgotten how fun papermiche is.

Bones and polka dots

Mom and aunt Nita helped put together some puppy dog ears for the kids to wear. Each of the cousins had a bag to decorate and then put the candy in it.
Outside decorations had pictures of Liam and puppy toys



Pre-dinner snacks were peanuts and Chex puppy chow

some of the girls out by the pool

The cake table in the air conditioning so the fondant doesn't melt off the cakes

Singing Happy Birthday

Blowing out the candle

Turning him loose with the puppy cake

Tastes sweet

This is seriously good! Do I have something on my chin?
Poseing or praying? Dear Lord please bless this cake!
