Curious Champs Turns One!


I had so much fun planning Champs' 1st Birthday party.  I had the idea in probably April, ridiculous I know, to have a Curious George themed party.  I didn't go too crazy with the theme, but did enjoy working with the bright colors and having a few Curious George's around!  Thank the Lord for Amazon gift cards as I got most of the decorations (including the man with the yellow hat costume) there!

My mom was so wonderful in helping me with the party.  She came over for a couple days to help me get everything setup and ready for the fun.  She also made some food for it, so thanks to her for being a tremendous help!

The birthday boy seemed to really enjoy his special day!  All his buddies were able to come to the party, and some even helped him get going on his cake.  It was such a great day and I know we'll always treasure it.  I know we'll look back on these pictures for many years!  Thank you to friend Cindy Welsh for taking them for us!

Welcome to the party!
Ready for the guests to arrive!
