So many pictures, so many great memories! I worked really hard to make this party as awesome as Dax deserved (and big sister deserved a great day for being so amazing, too!)- and I think it was a success. It was perfect, and I am posting an obnoxious amount of pictures.
 |
| Dax's big gift from Mommy, Daddy, & Ada- a racetrack table!!! Talk about a labor intensive gift... I'll blog about it from start to finish one of these days! It is pretty darn adorable. |
 |
| At the entrance to the Monster Bash- "Place a capsule in this cup of water, and it will turn into a MONSTER of a toy for you while you play!" It literally turns into a foam monster. I have a soft spot for these types of toys, since I was quite attached to one as a child. His name was Mr. Character. (I was such a freakin weirdo!) |
 |
| Party favors! |
 |
| Play-doh party favors |
 |
| Create your own monster hat- since it was a sunny afternoon. No one made one except me... :) |
 |
| Play-doh and sidewalk chalk. A house party must. |
 |
| I searched all over Houston for a monster bouncehouse- and the closest I could find was a dragon! Whatever- the kids loved it. |
 |
| Homemade banner... |

| HUGE homemade banner! |
 |
| Balloons with monster faces!! Literally printed off onto sticker paper- I will do this with EVERY party theme from now on. What a great way to customize balloons without breaking the bank! |
 |
| Monster cupcakes. :) |
 |
| The snack table- the large empty spot is for a pitcher of margaritas still being prepared by Dad- accompanied by a "Margarita Bar". Yuummmmm! |
Enough pictures of decor- here are some cute action shots!!!
 |
| Ada and her friend Addy jumping! |

You did a fantastic job!! And Dax looked adorable on his big day. I CANNOT believe he is one! I am in denial that there is only one month left until Jude's birthday.
Moesha, you totally outdid yourself. You are so creative! How did you do the banners?
