Luke Turns One! - May 2013

We wanted to have a small, intimate gathering of people for Luke's 1st birthday.  Well, intimate led to 40 people showing up at our house!  Yikes!  We just didn't want anyone to feel left out if they didn't get invited.  Luke has so many people that love him.  I decided to go with a Monkey theme because we all love monkeys and I call him my little Monkey. It was such a fun party and Luke got spoiled rotten!

Luke's smash cake

We were so happy to have some aunts, uncles, and cousins too!

I had to make a special 1 year old shirt, with suspenders for the birthday boy

He struggled with the cake at first, but eventually got into it obviously.

I made a banner with all of his "monthly" pictures.

Monkey-themed treats and chocolate/peanut butter cupcakes.

We had a separate table with other finger foods but I forgot to take a picture.
