When the time came to plan Cooper's First Birthday Party I just admit that I was clueless! In a Pinterest world it is very easy to feel bad about yourself and lack of crafting abilities. I mean seriously HOW DO PEOPLE HAVE TIME TO COME UP WITH THAT STUFF? I digress...anyways, my brilliant husband came up with the idea of a Dr. Suess themed party. As a teacher I knew that I could take this idea and run with it. With the help of (ahem) Pinterest and Etsy I found my inspiration. Once the theme was decided I began printing, cutting, and pasting anything red, blue, or white that I could get my hands on. It was a labor of love and creating a Suessical land for my little guy's big day was my absolute pleasure. A special bonus was when my mom came in for the party and helped decorate the house for the big day. I wanted the day to be special and a true celebration of our past year as a family of three. I can gladly say that it was just that. Our house was full of friends and love. Sweet Coop was a delight and enjoyed playing with his buddy Cam and chowing on a little cake.
