UPDATE: Creighton’s Party was recently FEATURED in GreyLikesBaby.com BLOG. yayy!! THANKS so much GreyLikesBaby!!

Blue skies, puffy clouds and a little bit of snow flurries… all ingredients for an eventful BIRTHday celebration. Creighton just turned ONE and he’s already making his mark as ‘CAPTAIN’. With wings, an aviator hat, and passport he’s ready for his first flight.

I searched high and low for vintage glass milk bottles but everyone is sold out. So, determined to find an alternative I came across the drink ‘YOOHOO’. At $ 2.99 for 4 drinks, I was able to recycle the bottles at next to nothing and achieve the same look. PLUS saving a lot of $$.

Special THANKS to Kitty Castle for the PERFECT cakes and cupcakes. They were a HIT!

FUNNEST Favors- bubbles & balloons animals

Creighton’s SMASH cake complete with puffy clouds and airplanes.

Sign in guest book… (almost) last minute idea.

Clouds? Why not! Made with felt type fabric and hand stitched. Catherine did 99% of the sewing : )

Big thanks to Alois for the cutest bowtie : )
