Jack is officially one year old and because we love celebrating Jack, we did three mini celebrations with each side of our family over the week between Christmas and New Years as we celebrated the Christmas holidays with our families. The best part, he was none the wiser!
I made an egg-free cake (followed this recipe) due to Jack’s egg allergy, attempted a balloon arch (using this DIY), and picked up a few banners (from here and from Hello Maypole) to hang around his high-chair with kraft paper backdrop. It was simple, neutral, and exactly what I had in mind! His crown was also from Etsy.
Jack could have cared less about the cake (even we bribed him with puffs). Any time we served it, he played with it for a few moments and then it was on to the next. We played with all the toys and also visited the Science Center of Iowa with my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew! I think next year we will do his party there! Having a winter baby means getting creative with their birthday celebrations!
I still pinch myself that we get to be Jack’s parents. He’s the sweetest, most joyful baby and cannot wait to see what this year brings us with our little man!
