My Teddy's First Birthday Party! Dog Themed Party!

 

 
I've been dreaming about Teddy's 1st birthday party, oh, since probably the week he was born! Maybe even before he was born? Not in a psycho hose beast way... just in the way in which I love dreaming of ideas and parties... I remember just wondering so much who this little boy would be... while he was still a big old bump in my belly I would lie there and wonder who he was or what he might look like or what his personality would be. What would he be into by the time he was one year of age!?? That seemed soooo far away.





Once Teddy was born, and the days, weeks and months unfolded and flew by like I could never imagine time blazing by, Teddy's little personality began to emerge. Now, at almost one year of age, he's a sweet, funny, mega energetic, scrunchy-faced, curious, good natured, chatty, mischievous and adorable little half-chinese gloworm. I love him beyond anything I knew before. And he's super into DOGS.




So a dog themed party it was! It turned out super fun... and best of all, Teddy rocked his party hard, so pumped on his balloons and the new decorations around the house, drooling and laughing and scrunchy-facing and screeching and smiling his way through, delighted by his fellow miniature guests and his cousins and family, confused by all the people and the Happy Birthday singing but he took it all in stride like the social, sweet and hilarious little guy he is. The party was all I dreamed it would be, full of family, friends and love for our little Teddy!

Happy Birthday Teddy! Love you more than anything in the whole world!

WOOF! Amy's "Dogs Playing Poker" Birthday!

My little buddy! FluffPup the peanut butter frosting dog!

The party inspiration. Dogs playing poker poster.

I made dog masks out of felt for my hubby and I!

One of my best friends, the crazy talented Amy P, had a "dogs playing poker" themed birthday party, based on that ridiculously amazing poster from the 1980s!! So as a surprise I made her a dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and PEANUT BUTTER frosting. Extreme deliciousness alert! And... it was also vegan, as she can't eat dairy!

I tried to base the dog on the supercute little pup from the hilarious movie Best In Show. I made dog masks for Rich and I out of some leftover felt and a few spare headbands I had lying around! Et voila... maybe the scariest dog masks ever?? I tried to make them cute but really, when you cut holes out of anything and put it on your face... horror movie material!

I went for a "jaunty jazz dancer dog" look with a black and white themed outfit with white gloves... ! The last pic is of Rich and I posing with Amy's amazing fatcat Dooblevay!

Happy Birthday Amy!! Hope you have an amazing year!! xo
