Ryder's birthday and dedication were this last saturday and we just had the best time! I had lotss of fun with everything from the tiny decorating details to the menu to the time of dedication with our family and friends to watching our son DEVOUR his cake.
Note: the day before his party, he took a tumble down our garage steps and skinned up his little nose, so you will see it in all the pictures... We definitely have a mobile little guy!
The decorations:
Our door sign:
Our table:
(We used paper table cloths that people could color on and there were gold fish swimming in the glass bowls and tasty gold fish crackers in my vintage Melmac bowls.)
The table with pictures, a book by Dr Seuss that everyone signed and fish shaped straws that the kiddos used to drink with and the pin wheels that I altered a little bit as well as cards for everyone to take that had prayer requests for Ryder on them...
The menu:
We had sandwich platters and potato salad from Costco and I made
this Barefoot contessa recipe for pasta salad to go with it...
then I made cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies to go with it.
The dedication:
(I will share more about this tomorrow.)
Some photos with family:
And of course he had CAKE!
I made a little sign to hang on his high chair in his place of honor:
Getting a hug from his cousin before diving in.
And the cake time ended with Ryder in the tub:
Presents:
Ryder loved the wrapping paper!
It was a wonderful day. I am so thankful for all of our family and friends that love us so well and support our family.
Thank you for sharing in this celebration with us!
We love you all!
