First Birthday Party!

Our little man turned one! We were lucky enough to be able to celebrate with some of our family and friends at a music-themed birthday party a week before to big day.

The flags read, "Happy Birthday, Julian!"; on te poster are photos of Julian on the 17th of each month of his first year

Guitar Cake

Drum Smash Cake

Vanilla Cupckes (in piano liners) rounded out the cake offerings

Nut cups are a Pleiss family tradition; we made them one-year-old-friendly with cheddar bunnies and animal crackers from the Ripon cookie factory

Eighth Note Brownies

Drum sticks made from marshmellows and paper straws

This banner reads, "Welcome to our Band!"

All the kiddos at the party went home with a goody bag of musical instruments and microphone-shaped bubbles

Hanging at the water table, a birthday gift from Grandma and Grandpa Pleiss

A quiet moment with his buddy Kaya

With Mama

Is there anything sweeter than cousins?

All my grandparents are one place!

We did it! Yay!

It was such a good party, with something for everyone even though Julian was clearly the star. Well done!
