My nephew Alex turned one a couple weeks ago, and today we celebrated at my house. I just wanted to share a few details with you all!

I put together a guestbook that he could look at when he gets older. Each guest filled out a page with stuff like what he will be when he grows up, where they traveled from, any advice they have for him, and then they could draw a picture of him. For the book itself, I bought a plain blue 8×8 scrapbook with a slot for a picture, then stuck a metal “happy birthday” sticker on the front and printed out a black and white picture of Alex. It turned out so cute! Here’s a picture of the blank pages and the book itself.

The theme was Winne the Pooh with blue and yellow as the colors. I got some cheap vases at Joann’s, spray-painted them a light yellow, and turned them into honey jars to use for the floral centerpieces.

My dad made some of his awesome barbecue.

His Nana set up this super cute cupcake tree.

And here’s the birthday boy!
