Dr. Seuss Birthday Party for the Birthday Boy!!

Our little man turned ONE on October 20th.  First off, he has such a cool birthday, 10/20/2010!  What a wonderful year it has been!  We all just love our little guy so much!  He has such a personality!  He is such a great sleep compared to a year ago ;), he loves to eat his finger foods and will try new things, he says mama, dada, dog, and talks all day long.  When he plays he talks in a really high pitched voice, he loves bath time, loves to be snuggled at bedtime, LOVES to play with the dogs, is a flirt, and there are so many other things I could say but the post would be way to long.

Emmett had a Dr. Seuss Party.  I went all out on his party because he is my favorite little boy and needed an awesome celebration!  My sister made his invitation (she is so creative)!  There was a picture from Oh the Places You'll Go and it said: Big B Little B what begins with B?  Birthday Bash Bonanza, B, b, B!  Oh me!  Oh my!  You'd better come by for dare I say it's Emmett's First Birthday!  So Please, Oh Please pick up your keys and join the fun as the clock strikes one on the 22nd day of the 10th month.  Where in Mendon you will find a party right out of Dr. Seuss' mind!  So be inspired and come seussically attired.  Be a smarty and come join the party!

For the party my mom made a Cat in the Hat felt hat and a banner with all the Dr. Seuss characters.  She also helped me make the onsie.  I made a ton of Dr. Seuss inspired food, what kind of party would it be without food!    

 Beezul Nut Juice (sprite and Jello cubes)

 Water From the Cool of the Pool

 BBQ Iota (little sausages)

 Poodle Eating Noodles

 ABC's of Dr. Seuss

 Fruits and Veggies From the Jungle of Nool

 Cheese Trees

New Blue Goo (Carmel Rice Crispy Treats dyed blue)

 One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Seuss cakes, we also had red and blue homemade ice cream

 Emmett's Cat in the Hat Smash Cat

 We gave these out as party favors, they said: Today was good!  Today was fun!  Thank you, thank you everyone.

The sign says: WAIT!  Stop here you see, and write a very special message to ME!  A Birthday Wish or just to say HI, to your very favorite ONE year old guy!  On the front, the back, or any pages.  It is something I will treasure all of my ages!  Signed Mayor Emmett.

This will be a fun tradition to read this to him every birthday and read how much his family loves him

 We had three guessing jars.  They said: tell me the correct number of candies in the jar.  If you're the winner you'll take them home in your car!

There was a Dr. Seuss Trivia Quiz that said:  Think you know your Dr. Seuss, take a guess but you won't win a mousse.

We played pin the star on the sneetch

We also had Ring the Gak (horseshoes) and Tweetle Beetle Battle (croquet)

My cousins came seussically attired, aren't they so cute!

He had fun opening presents.  He got books, a ball, some food, a stuffed animal, his Caterpillar Halloween costume his Grandma Pearce made, and a wooden dog his Grandpa Pearce made.  Thanks everyone!

 He likes to play on his toy caslte from his Koontz grandparents

And he is in LOVE with the dump truck that makes sound that me and Greg got him.

Thanks everyone who came to his party!  We love this little boy so much and are so glad we could all celebrate him!
