Sammy’s first birthday party was a fun {and sugar!} filled afternoon- I made the Magnolia vanilla birthday cake as well as strawberry and chocolate cupcakes and cotton candy, and served up circus peanuts, Cracker Jack, animal crackers, Mexican coke in bottles and milk for the kiddies {strawberry or chocolate!}. Oh, and our adorable 6 year old neighbor made homemade snow cones to order. Phew! Happy birthday sweet Sammy!!

Simply adorable! Love all of the details!
Happy First Birthday, Sammy! How cute is he and this party!!
oh my goodness, this is the cutest party ever! these pictures are so sweet – the cupcake toppers are my favorite! xo
Such a sweet birthday!! May I ask where the striped table cloth came from?
Thanks ladies!
Jennifer, the funny thing is that I have had that tablecloth for years- I pulled it out of the cabinet and couldn’t believe how perfect it was for the party! I think I originally bought it at Napa Valley Vintage Home in St. Helena, CA. They may actually still carry it.
so much cuteness! would love to share this party to my readers, if that’s ok? TIA!
darling! what beautiful images for you to have forever!
I love the circus peanut ideas! great photos too btw
Oh I love that store! I’ll have to check it out – thanks!! And, Happy Birthday to your little lad
