My baby is one...I'm still in denial. But with this big milestone comes the big responsibility of a the first birthday party. Now say what you will about overdone children's parties and the Pinterest generation, but seeing as I only have a few birthday parties where I get to choose themes, etc, I wanted to have fun with it. Mind you, next year's birthday party will be taken down a notch or two.
We went for a classic Winnie the Pooh theme - a choice that ended up being hard to follow. Between party stores, Target, Walmart, and practically any store you could think of, no one carried any classic Pooh items; everything was Disney Pooh. Between Pinterest and my own imagination, we had to get a little craftsy and a little creative. Here are a few shots from Oscar's par-tay:
