a whale of a time

A whale of a time was had by all this weekend as we celebrated the 1st birthday of the critters...also known as Reese, Carson and Hadley - triplets :)

It was a fabulous party if I do say so myself! Think: whales a la Vineyard Vines - preppy pink and green!.

Let's see who was there to celebrate and all the snazzy decor....

this little guy greeted us {made by jen from sugar!}

proud parents and hosts - chris and rian

food table: three adorable whales made by grandma barbara

all first birthday parties need an arrangement like this...by moi of course!

a nautical-esque food spread...whale {chicken} salad puffs, shrimp cocktail, and "fruit" of the sea to name a few

mom made her famous sugar cookies...whale shaped {well they were more so before she baked them!}

party hats by moi

outside arrangements in mason jars

rian went around telling everyone to tell me their number because I counted each whale...ha!

I think this picture is so sweet of rian and reese...you should've seen the smile on his face talking to his mommy

brother decided it was easier to just bite into the cake {a special thank you to brother for wearing your party hat the whole time!}

the aftermath

chris had his blog turned into a book for the critters' first year...we were asked to leave a note. might be the coolest thing ever.


Happy First Birthday to YOU my sweet little babies!
