birthday for a wild thing

Now let me start by saying I know Cam will remember none of this. But after Chris and I got through a year of raising a fun little boy along with other trials, it was time to celebrate. So we chose the theme Where the Wild Things Are.

The tone was set with amazing artwork created by my friend Ben Borsos set the tone for our party. He did an AMAZING job with the invites, which he blew up for me to hang at the party.

Kim Wagoner created an amazing cake for Cam (tasted great too!) while Chris and I made the cupcakes with the help of Heather Gain. Animal crackers were scattered through the house in small paper toys.

And we had stand ups so guests could be wild things too!

Cam even had a crown, but it did not stay on his head for too long.

He was excited by many gifts, but I think this one got the biggest reaction.

And he shared toys with his guests like a good host.

Instead of smashing into a cake and smearing it everywhere, he borrowed into the back with his pointer finger and pulled out small pieces to devour. Very funny, and very Cam.

And he was ready to crash at the end.

Thank you to Jeff Mahar for coming over and photographing everything for me. Without his help, I would have spent the night behind a camera lens instead of enjoying the night.

Happy First Birthday, Cam!
