Jackson Eating His 1st Birthday Cake

Jackson's 1st Birthday Cake

Noah blew out Jackson's candle, as Jackson was more interested in Mama's homemade pumpkin sugar cookie.

Jackson is such an individual! Instead of diving into cake, face first...he just picked a couple of pieces up and pushed them around. He was more interested in the sugar cookie I put in front of him, which was fine with me!

Happy 1st Birthday, Sweet Jackson!
Mommy Loves You!

Jackson's 1st Birthday Cake

"Our Little Pumpkin is Turning 1!"

Betty Smith of Village Bakery did an AMAZING job on Jackson's cake! She put his picture from his birthday invitation ON the cake (100% delicious & edible) along with the coordinating cupcake toppers I had custom ordered to coordinate with Jackson's party colors. Betty always exceeds my expectations, and, believe it or not...the cake was as delicious as it was beautiful!

The cake was almost as big as Jackson!

Check out this delicious cake!
 (I can hardly wait for Noah's party!)

Jackson's 1st birthday Pumpkin Patch

For Jackson's 1st birthday party, I envisioned creating a cozy little pumpkin patch in our back yard. I have to say...I put so much effort into this party...with EXTRA details everywhere. And it paid off. Love is in the details. I am so happy with how it turned out. The weather was perfect, and I couldn't have envisioned a more perfect day for my youngest son's 1st birthday. Happy 1st Birthday, sweet Jackson. Mommy loves you dearly!!!

For Jackson's 1st birthday party, I set up some props in an area outside where guests were encouraged to take some fun pictures.  Elizabeth & I began the fun, and others followed shortly thereafter.  SO MUCH FUN! I just LOVE this idea & will be using it from NOW ON!!!

YUM! You eat them just like the old fashioned ice cream push pops, except it's cake, sprinkles, icing, and M&M's.
