After last years not so perfect Pinterest party that broke my heart(I'm still suffering a little PTSD from it, but we won't go there AGAIN but you can check out the Canaan's First Birthday here.) we decided on a super small family/kiddo party and besides the heat everything else was perfect and I was a totally different mom this time around.
Canaan has pretty much been obsess with Pete the Cat for well over a year and I and I was really trying to avoid having a Pete the Cat party because...well... he's not that cute and I really was going to have to get creative because most people don't even know the guy-unless your a kid!
Sidenote: Balloon Arches are better for indoors.
In case you didn't know Pete the Cat is a children's book character. Each book has silly lessons that teach kids to not sweat the small stuff, that things come and things go and thats ok, so I can't really be that annoyed that he's ugly when he teaches good life lessons haha!
Also Canaan has the best dad and he read some of the stories to the kiddos.
"Guys are you listening to this?!"
One of the books talks about Pete stepping in strawberries(red paint), blueberries (blue paint), mud (brown paint), and water. Teaching the story that "No matter what you step in, its alllll good," so we recreated it in a fun way for the kids to get to do too!
Notice out GROOVY shirts, the books have a totally retro theme.
Daddy's Wings
Glamma's Button Cookies, another book "My Four Groovy Buttons"
He loved the piñata!
Canaan with his cousins!
Opening his new obsession of Elmo.
He was so excited when Uncle Dave opened him up!
Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate our little guy! I hope this third year goes much slower than the last two!
