We had a John Deere themed birthday party. My aunt made his smash cake and the cake for family. She has done my shower cake and will be doing our wedding cake as well. I also had oreos as "spare tires" and cow tails and my best friend/maid of honor Jenny made us rice krispy treats as "hay bales"!
I did a few other crafty things with Jenny. We made his garland in the window that will go in his room now that the party is over. His room is green and yellow and rustic themed. I also made a banner for his birthday that I'll probably just keep forever because it's so awesome. I had some great food as well with some clever tags. The utensils were pitch forks, spades and shovels. We had deviled chicken eggs, Will's veggie garden pizza, sloppy cowboy joes, potatoes, wagon wheel mac n cheese and apples from Will's orchard.
He received so many wonderful gifts from friends and family. We are truly blessed to have this little boy in our lives. He's truly a miracle and I can't believe it's been a whole year. Our NICU journey seems like it happened yesterday but I'm glad to have a whole year of being out of the hospital under our belts. We'll definitely be celebrating lots of things like Will's actual birthday, his NICU release date and of course his actual due date even though it's Christmas day! We really do have a lot of things to be thankful for this year and Will is on the top of that list.
Enjoy your fall weather and be sure to look for Will's 12 month update after we hit the pediatrician for his one year appointment!! (:
