 |
| Do you recognize this sign from one year ago in our hospital room? When I made it, I hoped to get use of it both then and on his first birthday! And I thankfully remembered! |
 |
| I had so much fun planning a plane-themed party! Too bad I didn't get this brainstorm until two days before the event. Otherwise, I would have booked a small party room in our local airport! |
 |
| Little plane favors for the kids |
 |
| His eyes are on the airplane overhead! |

| Michael bought this vintage airplane over in Austria when he lived in Europe. What a perfect decoration for our vintage plane-themed party! |

 |
| To go with our theme of vintage airplanes, the favors for the kids were little travel suitcases with hotel stickers, filled with bubble toys inside! Each child also took home a little wooden airplane kit. |

 |
| I was so impressed with the cake!! I'll be writing a big thank-you note to our baker and cake designer! |
 |
| My parents found these adorable foam airplanes on the clearance rack at Kmart. They were the only planes we could find in a 20-mile radius that weren't the ones from the Planes Disney movie! |
 |
| Enjoying my squeeze time with the Lukester! |
 |
| We served a mix of hot sandwiches, chips, and pickles from one of our favorite restaurants. Michael made a delicious pasta salad, and I chopped up TONS of fresh fruit! |
