Friday's with Fin :: Cookie Monster Birthday!

I'll begin with a little disclaimer about the title of this post, "Friday's with Fin"... I've decided to force my obsession for my little man onto all of you and have a weekly post dedicated to all things Finley! How many people just rolled their eyes?! ;P Since this is a "design blog", I'll try not to get too cray-cray-annoying-mama and bore you with all the silly details {whoops, did I already do that with yesterday's post!} and focus more on the "creative" things we're up to! Hope you enjoy!

Finley turned one {in October} and happens to be in love with sesame street {yeah, we don't have cable!} so we decided on a cookie monster themed party! To set the tone of the event, I called on my incredibly talented friend, Tracie, of TSJ Photography, to have a "cookie monster photo shoot"! We had SO much fun letting Fin go wild on the cookies, get all sugared up and take some pretty darn cute photos! I used the photos through out the birthday party... on the invites, in large frames for decoration, on thank you notes and I created an album to have on display for guest's to peruse! It was such a fun way to celebrate this little blond bundle of mine!

The actual party was such a blur that I'm glad I took photos to remember it! We had so much family and friends crammed in our tiny home, and being the "nervous nellie" that I am, I was running around like a chicken without my head! But, all in all, when I look at all the photos below, I smile just thinking of what a special day it truly was!

 

A little side note to all interested in having a cookie monster party of your own... if blue frosting goes in... yeah :P
