Parker's 1st birthday puppy paw-ty

Parker had a blast at his 1st birthday puppy paw-ty! Thank YOU to everyone for coming!! We loved celebrating our little Parker man with our family (Parker had all 4 of his grandparents (Mimi, Grande, Gigi and Papa Doc) and one of his great grandmothers, Mimi, in town at the same time just for him... such a special treat) and all our great friends! Our sweet music teacher Liz from music together (which mommy and Parker do together while big brother Philip is in preschool - our special time just the two of us) came to play, sing songs and play instruments with Parker and all his friends. The kids loved playing the sticks (their favorite), singing songs and barking like a dog! Next up.... smash cake and cupcakes! Parker had the cutest smash cake in town (thank you Haines!!) in the shape of his very own little puppy and the kids all loved their yummy paw print cupcakes... too cute, right?! The party was so much fun and the kids all enjoyed their puppy ears and puppy cookie party favors! Parker was in absolute heaven and loved every minute of his party with all the attention on him... a rare occasion for sure with his big brother Philip around!! Happy 1st Birthday Parker man... we love YOU!!

Happy 1st Birthday to me!
