Brett's Mustache Bash

Hold on tight, this post is a long one.  
We had a great birthday party for Brett last weekend.  He turns one this Friday.  I found this great invitation on Etsy from LemonadeMoments.  I also purchased the banner and water bottle wrapper PDF from this Etsy site.  Stacey did a great job designing these and was speedy in getting me my digital copies.


Here's the spread: Ham sandwiches (roll with ham, swiss cheese, and a brown sugar & butter mixture.  Baked for 5 minutes. YUM!), sun chips, root beer & orange soda, fruit salad, veggies, cotton candy, bear cake, and lemon filled cupcakes.


I got this bear cake mold from Williams Sonoma a few Christmases ago.  It's so fun to make.  I made Grant a bear for his 1st birthday too.  I should have looked at the pictures of Grant's cake (below) before I painted the face on Brett's cake because I got a little carried away with the mouth.

As you can see from Brett's cake (below) I should have held off on the mouth.  Oh well, it's still pretty cute.  The mustache is a little crazy too, but this bear HAD to have a mustache at this bash.


Brett wore the same shirt that Grant wore for his 1st Birthday:
Keith got Brett up from a great nap just before his party  :  Brett kept making this "ooooooh" face.  It think he was in awe.  :)

Keith's dad shared his super magic tricks with us.  It was great!  Everyone was amazed!


Pin the mustache on Brett:

Oh the mustaches!  This was the funniest part of the party.  We were all laughing so hard.  Especially by adorable nephew with the great bald head and bold eyebrows and mustache!


Brett getting ready to stare at his cake.  In true one year old form, he just stared at the candle.  And then the candle magically blew out when an older cousin snuck up behind me.  :)


Yum yum yum!

It was so much fun.  Thanks to everyone who came and also to those that I know wanted to be there.
