Colson's party had a sweet shoppe theme. I say "theme" very loosely because I'm not big on them. They make me feel too confined. Ha!
I got several ideas from Kara's Party Ideas. Oh my goodness I wish I could jump into my computer and go to some of the parties featured. Wow!
I was in Maggie Moo's a month ago (imagine that...ice cream!) and saw these cute little waffle bowls. I ordered some on the spot. ; ) They fit perfectly in jumbo cupcake liners.
I bought Colson's stamp from this etsy site and stamped his name on little wooden spoons. I love how they turned out.
Party favors
We gave the boys bath paint. Something messy but contained hopefully!
Last fall I saw on Jill's blog the cutest way to take pictures of party guests. I bought this frame for 75% off at Hobby Lobby and painted it cream. My dad hung it outside with fishing line.

Birthday boy!
Even though his birthday is not until Wednesday, it's always fun to start the party early. ; )

From the day we brought Colson home for the hospital I thought he looked a lot like his uncle Andy. Those Rowes have strong family genes!

Colson loved the icing on his cake.
We would have been there all day if he had tried to eat any cake!
"I think I'll drink my milk and read one of my birthday cards."
Thanks everyone for celebrating Colson's first year with us!
From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another.

Happy 1st Birthday Colson :) What a beautiful party :)
So cute! I can't believe he's already turning 1!!! You southerners sure do know how to throw a cute party....I lived in AR for 24 years before moving to Ohio but I don't even have 1/10 of the creativity it would take to put something like that together!!
Happy birthday sweet Colson! Awesome job on the party, Katie!! Very creative! I LOVE the hanging frame idea, so clever!

Katie, the party was fantastic! Love the theme and all the special touches. All the pics are awesome - a great day for a super sweet little fella. What a blessing he is!
Katie! Hi!!!
I read your blog all the timebut hardly every leave comments, not sure why...does this make me kind of a lurker??? Ha. I'll try to leave more comments!
I can't believe Colson's already one. The time is really flying....the party looked so fun and the decor was tons of great ideas! My oldest girl is turning 14 in two weeks (GASP) and I can't wait to steal some ideas!!
The thought of our babies having such a grand view of the fireworks on the 4th was bittersweet. Blow Reese a kiss for me, would you??
Talk soon, dear one.
Awh...Colson's party looks like it turned out to be a smashing event! The photographs you had framed of him were so beautiful!
I love that photo of him lounging...drinking his milk and reading his card. Too cute!
What a great party! He is so blessed to have such a wonderful family. The pictures are great. Enjoy them while they are small. My fourth munchkin, Avery, is going to the "Big School" this year in K-5 and I am just not sure I am ready. :( Have a great day.
Happy birthday to Colson! I can't believe he's one already! Your party decorations were perfect! I love the picture frame idea-so cute!
Hi Katie, I just love reading your blog, and I love all of the details from Colson's party! You should submit it to Kara's Party blog!! Happy Birthday to Colson, he is such a handsome little guy :)
Happy birthday Colson! My Collin and Colson share the same birthday! Collin is turning 6 today. The party looks like it was amazing, great job.
Blessings,

Summer birthdays are the best! So fun to be outside for them if you can. I am starting to plan my boy's 2nd b-day for the end of August. I have to narrow down my ideas as I have too many! But it sure is fun. I love all your pictures. The pictures of the guests is such a neat idea. You also take great pictures.
I can't believe I have been reading about your family for well over a year now. Where does the time go?
Happy Birthday Colson! Wishing you many many more.

You did a great job!!
