We celebrated Jackson's first birthday party with a Sesame Street theme, featuring Big Bird, Elmo, Bert and Ernie, Snuffy, The Count, Telly Monster, Oscar the Grouch, Abby Cadabby, Zoe, Rosita and......COOKIE MONSTER!
The week prior to the party was spent drawing, coloring and cutting out the awesome Sesame Street Muppets that my students helped create! During the process we were also inspired to create a Sesame Street Trivia Game (vintage for the adults and a little bit easier one for the kids).
We had such a great day and packed about 60 people into our house (which I feel like we are outgrowing in general). I am reminded again what amazing family and friends we have and had so much fun playing games with the kiddies and catching up with everyone! We ate delicious food and topped off the afternoon with a Cookie Monster cake and "chocolate cookie" cupcakes and a mini Elmo cake for Jackson. Which, if I do say so myself, turned out pretty great --my first cake decorating attempt!!!! (Um....I had no idea what I was thinking giving him red frosting.....it looked like a scene from a horror movie rather than a first birthday party....) It really was a first birthday to be remembered! A huge THANK YOU to Grammy and Babci who slaved away in the kitchen all day and to everyone who brought food/drinks/gifts...etc and helped us to celebrate Jackson's big day! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
Frank even surprised me with birthday cupcakes! I have a great husband!
