artbyangeli: Children's Book Theme Party

Hello,

I was too excited to celebrate my second son's 1st birthday this past weekend. I did all the decor by hand and some of the food as well. Even though I did not get to do everything I had planned, it still looked incredible and I everyone was blown away by the setup. My wonderful husband and mother helped me prepare for this event.
It was a very intimate birthday gathering for our immediate family. The theme for my peanut Marco was a children's book called Senda in Castellano published in 1975 in Spain. This book inspired me as a child. It taught me to be creative, to dream in various colors and to believe in fairy tales. I read it to my first son and I will now read to my little peanut and hope he loves it as much as I did.

The party decor and food took a month of planning, unfortunately there were many last minute changes as we were thrown off by a house emergency and had to call plumber right away. Needless to say we had no water and all my appetizers were put on hold. The water started working 2 hours before the party!!! We only had time to make 2 appetizers instead of 5 but I don't think the birthday boy noticed. hehe ;-)

Please enjoy my hard work and last but not least....Hurray for Mr. Marco!!!!! You are now one year old. I love you tons!
