So the 1st Birthday was themed with Hoots! I ordered some amazing handmade decorations from the Etsy Store Ciao Bambino where I became good Etsy Buddies with the fabulous Jeniene! Here are a couple of photos from the Extravaganza...
Gorgeous Table Centrepieces
Cute Banners
Round sticker labels for the favour boxes I made
I am also guessing that this year would be a bad year to not make a big deal out of this birthday with a new addition on the scene.
So a theme is what I am debating over. So far I have thought of Dinosaurs, In the Night Garden (the weird show that he loves on the ABC) or Chuggington (another ABC favourite with trains). I have also thought pirates but have decided to save that for a couple of years.
So I guess I am putting the call out there to all you Mummy's of little boys. What themes have you used for your little ones?
I am mum to two gorgeous boys Nate & Hamish and wife to the just as gorgeous and very patient Mitch! We live in Brisbane, Queensland. I spend my days running around after my boys and playing with all things paper. I love ALL things craft and spend too much time scouring Etsy, Made It and too many blogs to list, all in the name of research - of course!!

Last year we did a Pooh bear theme, but it was very low key as Mr T was sick leading up to his party.
This year it is likely to be a Thomas the tank engin theme. I think it will be easy as once again it will be fairly low key.
I've done dinosaurs, made a brontosaurus pinata out of paper mache and tissue paper, that one was fun. I've done trains, I have a real Thomas fan of a son. I've done "on the farm" which is good for including diverse ages. I did an under the sea one too the year my son was obsessed with the aquarium. Usually I center my theme around what cake I can/want to make. :)
