Turning the BIG 1 !!

Last week, my pride and joy Jaylen turned 1!!! Needless to say I was ready to throw him a birthday celebration that he along with our family and friends would enjoy.

Jaylen's favorite TV show is Sesame Street. This is the one and only show that he will actually sit through and interact with. My favorite character from the show is Cookie Monster!!! With that said, Cookie Monster and cookies was the theme!





Check out the cookie banner :)


Jaylen's birthday is in August and we live in Fresno, known for it's heat. So it was a no brainer to make it a pool party. The kids and adults enjoyed a blow up slide, while the toddlers explored in a wave pool.







With my family its all about good food and who doesn't like BBQ?? My inlaws BBQed up slabs of ribs and chicken, while my mother made her famous BBQ baked beans and we prepared sliders, hot links, potato salad and refreshing fruit!



One of the highlights of the party was his cake! Inspired by Cookie Monster and his love for cookies! :) Frosted Cakery did an awesome job designing and baking a cookielicious cake!












In yo face Granny!


The keep with the spirit of "Back to School", Jaylen's guests received a gift bag filled with a Cookie Monster coloring book, reading book, activity cards and of course a cookie!





This birthday will definitely be one to remember. Thank you everyone who helped to make Jaylen's big day special!
