Winter-themed one year old party and a really cool idea

I’ve been meaning to post this one for so long.  My friend Sandee is super-creative so when her little guy turned one she put together a fabulous party at her gorgeous home.  I loved the red, white and turquoise color-theme which is perfect for December parties.

I absolutely loved the cake table.  The guys were mesmerized by the chocolate fountain: if they could have put their hands and face in it, they would have been in absolute heaven.  The little penguins and bears on the cake were too cute!

And I thought the make your own hot chocolate station was such a great idea.  There were even little toppings you could use to customize your cup.  I think this would be neat even at a grown-up party.

And I’ve always wanted to get the guys a caricature at the fairs and festivals we’ve seen them at but we’ve actually never done it.  So it was so cool that she hired one of these artists to do a ‘photobooth’ at her party.  The boys were a little unsure while they sat and posed, but thought the picture was so neat when it was done.  What a seriously cool party favor.

But my favorite favor?  I actually got a picture with my bestie!  One of the saddest things I’ve noticed since becoming a mom is that I always have photos of my kids and my friends’ kids, but I never have photos with me and MY friends.  So I’m definitely going to make an effort this year.  Thanks Sandee for such a lovely party!  (And so glad I have you on speed-dial for when I plan my next event!)
