Hostess With The Mostess

Several months ago my husband and I decided we wanted to plan a party to celebrate this year we have had together with our boy. I cannot believe he is already one! It was really fun to see all the plans come together on the big day. Our son had a blast playing with his friends, listening to Grandma read the Circus Ship, watching a juggler, gobbling up his cake and celebrating at a vintage circus with friends and family. When he is older he will always be able to look back at the pictures and know what a special day it was.

I think it is only appropriate, as you read this post, for you to be humming classic circus tunes. During the party we had a playlist of some favorite "circus" songs, including Entry of the Gladiators, a few songs from Dumbo and Animal Crackers in my Soup (not exactly a classic circus song, but animal crackers are circus-ish, and what kid doesn't love that song?!)

After the party was over and the guests had gone my husband kissed me and said, "it was a perfect party for our sweet boy". We had so much fun planning a special day together for Owen. We left the party a little more rosy cheeked and feeling like we had spent the day at the circus.
