Our little man Beau turned One today! still cant believe it....
We had a little birthday bash at our home for him on Sunday 3rd Feb. So the girls and I had a little fun preparing some decorations (or deecreations....hehee). We had the usual things ie some balloons and streamers but also made some more paper bunting, some bright colourful tablecloths, a birthday hat for our birthday boy (we got the idea from etsy on Pinterest) and Hayley had the idea to make some "Beau ties" too, which the girls had fun handing out to the children.
(Well, the girls had "hair Beaus"......) Our theme colours were blue, red and yellow...nice and bright.
Had a lovely day, so blessed with good weather and so blessed with loving family and friends who made the effort to come and celebrate with us!

Birthday Boy Beau Brigden

(I was a little concerened about the pom poms on his hat for safety reasons, but I made sure they were stuck fast so he couldnt pull any off....thankfully he was happy to wear the hat and didnt fuss at all, I think he may not have even noticed! we think he looked pretty dang cute too.)
Below are my "no sew bow (or rather Beau) ties"

| this is the middle strip to hold the bow in place... |
 |
| folding all sides into middle so no hems visible |

| hand sewn in place (can put elastic neck piece underneath this ) |

| finished tie. |
I tacked on different lengths of elastic to go around the neck for the boys bow ties and also for the hair bows, so they could find one that was most comfy and fit well. Easy peasy!
I also made a photo wall of Beaus first 12 months, just favourite pics of him month by month and then printed onto A4 paper. I added little milestones under the pics for interest.
Little wooden pegs kept them on the string...
A few pics from his celebration, shared with close family and friends....

| The girls had fun decorating the cake, I let them do whatever... |
 |
| I think they did a great job too! |
 |
Hayley made and decorated all the chocolate and vanillla cupcakes too! So proud of her. Such a big helper.

A very Happy First Birthday to our little boy Beau, so blessed to have him in our lives!
