Jude's very first birthday party







Well, the weekend of September 27th was Jude's very first birthday. So we had his party Sunday rather than Saturday (Grand Final Day).

We had a fantastic time, 25 kids most under three years old and almost 40 adults! Wow I can't believe I fit that many people in my house, as the weather was terrible and stopped us from having the party outside as we had originally planned.

The theme for the party was Cowboys!

I found these super cute party supplies online in the states at http://www.birthdayexpress.com/

So I started planning the cake, I had decided I was going to try my hand at making figurines, so my first figurine was Cowboy Cody.

I really enjoyed making and designing this cake and am really happy with the way it turned out.

When deciding what to put around the sides of the cake I thought, where would this cowboy be and it came to me Monument Valley! So I made some stencils to make my very own Monument Valley.
