Albert made a balloon caterpillar. It was the talk of the party! He dangled some green and one red balloons from the ceiling. 
I made this paper photo banner: 
I used 10 green card stock circles and one red. I printed a favorite photo for each month. Everyone loved this idea. I loved the finish look, it was SUPER easy! I also took a recent photo and enlarged it. 
I made a sweet little caterpillar pompom garland. I bought 5 bags of pompoms (4 green and one red). I simply sewed them together with embroidery thread: 
The favors were quick and fun. Sticking with the theme, I bought some bug catching kits and made a thank you baggie added 5 gummy worms in each bag, placed it in the bug catcher- tada! 
I labeled everything on the food table, including the utensils. lol 
The food was DELISH! We had tri-tip (hot dogs and chips for the kids), potato salad, chili beans, green salad, rice pilaf and a fruit tray. 
I used quotes from the book. I also picked 3 fruits that I knew people would eat from the book! We had a fruit tray with watermelon slices, strawberries, and orange wedges. mmmmm! 
I kept the drinks simple- water, tea, and fruit drinks for the kids. 
My sister made her delicious cupcakes! Albert made the adorable toppers! 
The baby LOVED them. I love little messy birthday cupcake faces! 
Albert made the CUTEST pinata for Noah: 
and Noah enjoyed hitting it! 
The weather could NOT be any better! The kids played outside with the swings, on bikes and wagons. The day was truly splendid! 
Thanks for letting me share! It was such a wonderful party! 2 down....one more to go. Ethan's party is in June. I am TIRED! lolHave a great weekend. Ethan is on spring break. We are taking a trip to the beach next week, but I will be checking in with some layouts and a fun project.
