Ian's Fiesta!

Little Ian turned one on April 25th and on the 28th we had a little fiesta party for him. My original plan was to do a Dr. Seuss themed party because, well I love all the colors associated with Dr. Seuss..ha plus my pinterest wall was bombarded with cutesy Dr. Seuss stuff. We decided we wanted to serve tacos at the party, and being the OCD person I am I could not have tacos at a Dr. Seuss themed party...you know we needed things like Sneetch Treats and Green Eggs and Ham. So we thought for awhile and decided to do a little fiesta for him.

The menu consisted of Chicken and beef tacos, a salsa and guacamole bar, mexican rice, fresh fruit, chicken enchiladas (courtesy of the hubby's dad's girlfriend) and refried beans and black beans. Everything was super yummy, especially the 18lbs of chicken my husband smoked and shredded all by himself! Extremely Grateful!

Here are some pics of the food...

We ordered a cake from a local (small) bakery...this was the first time ordering from her and man it was amazing. We have vanilla bean cake on the bottom tier and apple spice (to die for!) on the top....She frosted it in buttercream for us because we aren't too fond of fondant....It turned out absolutely adorable!

I also made up some super yummy desserts for everyone to try...and chili pepper cookies were the favors everyone got to take home as a special thank you!

And last but not least...the cutest little 1 year old ever ( I know it's a little blurry..the little stinker never slows down!) T-shirt was courtesy of Bebe Boutiques on Etsy. We loved it and we got it SUPER FAST!

We are so thankful to such a wonderful family who came to celebrate with us!
