This Monday my youngest turned one. He is such a sweet love and I can't imagine my life without him in it. The weekend was filled with festivities as my husband flew in from Alaska to celebrate. On Saturday, I threw a super cute Very Hungry Caterpillar themed party for "B". Then, like all good hosts I got hardly any good pictures or even had a chance to eat any of the yummy food I made. Argh! I wanted to share some of what I could capture though.
The Decorations
 |
| I wish I got a better pic of my hungry caterpillar balloons ;0(. The pic of "B" with Daddy is good though. |
 |
| I got the idea for a photo montage of the 12months of his life as the caterpillar body from Pinterest. | |
|
The Food
 |
| I incorporated all the foods the caterpillar ate in the Eric Carle book. |
 |
| I am super proud of my mini cherry pies (so easy to make). Mini muffin tin, refrigerated pie dough, and cherry filling. |
 |
| Some other food I didn't get a photo of: veggie platter with dip in a lettuce bowl, fruit in waffle cones, PB&J cut into circles and shaped like a caterpillar and the same done with turkey wraps. |
The Cake
 |
| White cake cupcakes and chocolate cake face (to match two things caterpillar ate). Antennas are Dum-Dum suckers and face is Skittles. |
 |
| He kept moaning! Yummo |
Keepsake Table
 |
| Since I didn't have a baby shower with "B" I asked people to fill out these "Wishes for Baby" cards. Then people were instructed to pick one wish that they wrote and then write it with a black Sharpie in a keepsake Very Hungry Caterpillar book. I had two art pieces of the character with "B's" handprints and gummy worms near by. |
 |
| The cards and book turned out PERFECT. I can't wait for him to read it when he gets a little older. | |
