Tristen's First Birthday

Tristen's birthday was SO fun! It seems like it just flew right past me and now Tristen is one! A few months back, I came across a SUPER cute idea on a blog: A vintage newspaper themed first birthday.  I LOVE throwing parties and this idea hardly cost a dime! The newspapers were free and I knew people who had awesome props that I could use!! I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking:

 Ready for the party to begin!

Guestbook, party hats, cake pops, pics of his first year

 

We had an old time pic taken this summer on vacation! It was the perfect addition to this table!

The guests talking and completing a Tristen themed word search

Tristen all of a sudden decided he didn't like party hats

So, no party hat for the cake part!! He didn't even want to try his cake but just looked at it and cried!

So, Aaron tried to give him a little taste but he still hated it!!

 

Finally I stepped in and he ate a few bites....but didn't enjoy it at all :) That's a good thing though, right? At least he won't want sweets all the time!

 

Presents went MUCH better :) 

 

We ended the night by taking old photo pics to tie into the theme!

Haha! What a wonderfully FUN night!!! :) I hope this boy never feels left out because his birthday is close to the holidays!! :) Happy Birthday again, dear Tristen!! :)
