Hey all! Thanks for all the comments on Cooper’s birthday post. I know – I can’t believe he’s one either! Where has the year gone? Moms, will time always move this quickly?

We decided to have his first birthday party at my mother & father’s house, which is 3 hours away. My brother’s entire family ended up getting the flu the week before the party, so they missed the celebration. We missed them, but we had a great time!
Ha! I have no idea.
I decided to go really simple for his first birthday party. It was at 2:00, so I served pepperoni pizza dip with warm bread, queso and tortilla chips, and olives. We also had cake and ice cream. I did a few balloons for decorations and had goody bags for the kids, and that was it.
The theme of the party was based on a shirt made by SheSheMade. Cooper’s been my little monkey since he was born, so it was fitting that we have a sock monkey party!
Bad picture but it is the only one I have
My mom was in charge of the cake, and she found a local lady to make a sheet cake and a smash cake for $25.00. $25.00! You can’t beat that. She made it to match his shirt; too cute!
Chilling before the party – look at his converse sneaks!
I was very worried when Cooper did not take a morning or afternoon nap. He normally naps from 10:00-11:30 a.m. and 2:00-4:00 p.m. on the weekends. That morning, he would not lay down. Jason and I ended up putting him the car around 11:45 and driving him around. He fell asleep and Jason ended up sitting in the car with him until the party started. Luckily, that cat nap was just what he needed! He was in a great mood for the party.
Now… onto the pics!
Smash cake
All in all, it was a great first birthday!
