Two weeks has passed since your first birthday and I think I’m in shock. How funny time passes in lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite the situation we had a wonderful day and most importantly, he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a moon \/ space theme party at home complete with balloon arch , a sweet treat buffet and the cutest decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I adore making our balloon arches for every occasion and fell in love with a great kit from amazon<\/a> that had tons of what we needed. I also added some extra balloons i purchased on ebay just to fill it out and make sure it was long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our sweet treat buffet included custom biscuits ( recipe<\/a> ) , cake sickles , homemade donuts ( tutorial to follow ) , lollies , cake pops and of course a cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I adore making the childrens birthday cakes myself and seeing the improvement everytime. It’s certainly become a tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His toppers and name were from a great instagram company Burnt Island Creations<\/a>. Sprinkles are from Iced Gem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing i love more than throwing a party is wrapping presents. Wether its Christmas or a birthday something about a beautifully wrapped gift just adds to the magic. Keeping on theme I used this stunning house Doctor wrapping paper and beautiful gift tags custom made by Willow and Griff.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was totally spoilt for his first birthday and got the best gifts we could of imangined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorites ( and his too ) were his My1st Years car<\/a> , Kids concept Drum<\/a> , Senger Naturwelt teddy ( now called Frankie Bear ) and his adorable new shoes. If you follow us on instagram you’ll of seen lots of these already with lots more to come. As i mentioned in Our gift guide i just love toys that will last long beyond the one year stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a belated gift we also received the BEST balance bike<\/a> . I adore the Banwood brand and this navy is just amazing. Liberty started riding a bike long before she was 2 so we wanted to make sure we had something ready so were not making big toy purchases outside of occasions. I also fine one can be a hard age to buy for without over duplicating so I think it’s great to prep for future wants and needs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We had a day full of giggles , outfit changes from cake and rolling around with toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is pretty much everyones first birthday dreams. It may not of been the big party we planned or surrounded by the family and friends we wanted to be , but it was perfect and special to us and thats all that matters .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
