Ian's 1st birthday party

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in 2 months!! We have been super busy, but as I have 4 dozen cupcakes baking in the oven for bake sale, I figured I could squeeze in a quick blog entry.
On October 27 our sweet baby Ian turned 1 YEAR OLD!! The year went by so quickly- it makes me so sad! But we had a great Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party at the Blue Marine pool in Maho!

Jordan grilled hamburgers and hotdogs at our friends Kerri and Dave's house, then we were joined at the pool by our closest friends. The weather was perfect- hot and sunny! My friend Kim with Black Cat Cafe made 4 dozen cupcakes and Ian's Mickey Mouse smash cake- they were amazing! And my friend Jackie surprised me with a high chair banner handmade with love! Several friends brought gifts which was so sweet (even though it was a no gift party!) 
At 6pm, when the sun went down, the pool lights turned neon so that was extra fun for the kids. It was a great party! and it reminded me how much work it is to throw a birthday party, but definitely worth it. My kids only get one birthday party during our time in St. Maarten, and since both of my boys birthdays are in the fall/winter this will probably be their only birthday in swimsuits!
