Wednesday, the day after Valentine's day, we had playgroup at our house that I hijacked into a birthday party with a Valentine theme for Charlie. His actual birthday is on Saturday. Justin wasn't thrilled that I picked a theme that is not very masculine but who doesn't love a little "love" at a party. And, I made sure everything was red and white, NO pink! However, I had to promise this was the first and last
Valentine's themed birthday for the little one.
Valentine's themed birthday for the little one.
I made heart shaped smoked salmon and herb sandwiches, heart shaped tomato and goat cheese tarts, some red pepper and eggplant dip ( in the color scheme ;))! There were heart balloons and cute Valentine gift bags for the kids. I found a pretty good recipe to make Charlie egg less chocolate chip cupcakes with yummy butter cream frosting.
Unfortunately Charlie was not in the best mood that day. I think he was a little overwhelmed after waking up from a nap and having a few people at the apartment already. He had a couple meltdowns. At the end of the party we all sang happy birthday and he had his first cupcake, it was his first actual sweet! He loved it, I think he liked the frosting the most, he gobbled the whole thing up. The group bought Charlie his first bike which is so cute, we have been pushing him around in it since! There was a lot of love that day! I can't believe he is almost one!
