Two Cute Kids and Some Birthday Cake 

Time to document the crazy party bashes of my two beautiful and crazy kiddos PAUL AND LUCY  

Paul Daniel's Little Einstein's Birthday Party!

When Paul was one he was obsessed with Disney's the Little Einsteins. There was no doubt in our minds that this would be the best first birthday party theme for him. 

The Cake: This was the first birthday cake that my sister Kate Bussell( Auntie Katie's Cakes) made for my kids.  It was amazing! She made two cakes...the bottom layer looked like the sky and the top layer was rocket...Paul's own personal cake! She also made extra cupcakes on the side.  

The Goodie Bags: Little Einsteins party bags from the party store. We filled the bags with age appropriate goodies:)

The Setup:  We put a bunch of kiddie tables together and sang happy birthday to Paul. The kids seemed to like being able to sit together.  
The Food:  A fun SURPRISE from our local pizza shop Palermo's Pizza in Derry, NH. 

The Birthday Boy: Paul Daniel Barbagallo Age: One

We love you little pumpkin!!!!!!!

Lucy's Animal Safari First Birthday Party! 

When Lucy was one she wasn't into much...other than her big brother Paul!  The one thing she did seem to like a lot was animals. Her favorite snuggly was a lion...so from there we threw  her a baby animal safari party. 

The Cake: My sister, Kate Bussell( Auntie Katie's Cakes) made Lucy's Safari birthday cake.  We loved all of the animals that she made out of sugar for our little sweetie! 

The Party:Thankfully, it was a warm September day for Methuen MA, so we were able to have the party outside! I used different colored table clothes on the tables, and I used safari stuffed animals and inflatable pool toys as centerpieces and decorations.  For balloons we did pink and brown to match the plates, napkins, goodie bags, etc.  The goodie bags were cute! We did age appropriate animal themed bags.  For the older kids we bought animal pencils, erasers, and note pads. For the babies we bought bonnets that had monkey and elephant ears.

Our Church, Granite United Church in Salem, NH  lent us our tables. 

My Mother in Law Shirley Barbagallo made cardboard cutouts for decorations!

The Birthday Girl: We bought Lucy's birthday outfit at Crazy 8. Her little socks have giraffes on them:)

               Happy First Birthday Lucy Marie! We Love You!
