This post has been in the making for a month and a half. #momfail I started it on my phone, had to stop, lost it, started it again, didn't like it, erased it and am now on try 3. Third times a charm, right? So planning Palmer's 1st birthday was something I looked forward to for umm, a year. When we found out I was due early November, dreams of Fall & Halloween themed parties bounced in my head for months! Then when Palmer decided to come a month early, I had to regroup and come up with different plans. I could still do fall, but once I started looking on Pinterest for ideas, I was overwhelemed and decided to narrow it down. My *Favorite* theme during the fall was pumpkins when I was teaching. We had a week dedicated directly to pumpkins and I LOVED it. Not to mention, other than pumpkin pie, I love pumpkin everything.
Don't judge. So Palmer's Pumpkin Patch was born! With the help of some friends, the whole thing came together and was a great success!! My good friend at
Prissy Fish Design made his birthday shirt, another great friend at
InkTopiary took that design and created all of the stationary for the big day, my old neighbor did the cake and cake pops, my Brother and Sister in Law let us use their new home, and my best friend, Pinterest, helped with the food! After months of planning, Palmer's Pumpkin Patch was created! I loved how everything came together and minus the rain. We didn't get to have the hayride photo shoot outside, or anything else outside but if there is one thing I learned teaching its monitor and adjust. Even though Palmer didn't know what was going on, for momma, it was the perfect first birthday party for our Sweet Little Guy!
