Mauricio's 1st Birthday [Mickey Mouse]

I celebrated my son's first birthday & his baptism the same day because I had a lot of special family coming over for his baptism.  I wanted them to be there for his first birthday, but I knew they would not be able to make two trips in one year...

 I made a lollipop topiary for the cake table & I added some framed pictures from our trip to Disneyland.

 Singing Happy Birthday to my baby... he was being shy.

Mauricio's 2nd Birthday Party [Toy Story]

My son fell in love with Toy Story 3 after watching the movie. He dressed as Woody for Halloween 2010 and everything he saw that was Toy Story related he just had to have. I knew right away what his second birthday theme would be. His real birthday is April 28th, but this year I decided to celebrate March 12th because his little brother was due on March 25th & I just knew how busy I'd be with a newborn!

The invitation...

Poster I made to welcome guests...

 I ordered this personalized banner from birthdayexpress.com

 I made this banner myself to match woody's shirt

 these were the favors :] done by me also.

 I opted for plastic cups instead of the traditional plastic goodie bags...

I had to make 30!

 prize bags for the games.
