porcupantler party...don't forget your antlers!

My sister Michelle and I came up with a great plan concerning our children. I will always cut their hair if she will always plan their birthday parties. Sounds like a great trade to me! While visiting Michelle a couple weeks ago she helped me plan Case's Porcupantler Party! A Mellor family tradition has been that you get your own porcupine cake for your 1st birthday. We decided to add a little Montana flair by adding antlers to the porcupine. It was a great party!!!

mini cupcakes with spiky frosting


i decorated everything with yellow and navy to go with the new LC paper line that we used for invitations and party favors

(devon was supposed to be in navy to go along with the color scheme...but conveniently forgot!)


happy birthday banner


yellow flowers and a Target clearance navy shower curtain to go with the party color scheme


i ended up having more yellow and navy than i thought. a couple days before the party i pulled everything from my house that matched the color scheme



happy birthday case


a couple books and a few of case's toys





The party turned out great and I can't wait to see what Michelle comes up with for next year!!!
