We had so much fun at Ryder's party!! It was so much fun to plan, and we loved
having everyone share this special day with him. We had a party with all of Ryder's
family!! There are about 35 of us, so it's crazy! I had searched the internet high and
low for weeks getting ideas for a circus party. Steve thought I was crazy, and I am, but
anything for my baby.

*Originally we were going to have it at my mom's, but with the major heat wave
we had it at Robyn's. It was great to have the kids swim. Thanks Rob!!
-Some of the decor and food-
Steve and I made these late one night. He was such a trooper helping me. He was quite impressive
rolling the napkins!
These were to die for! Homemade soft pretzels. We will definitely be making
these again.
The cake pops! These were amazing and so easy to make. Thank you
bakerella.com!
As you can see they were enjoyed by all. I love these 2 boys.
Ryder had fun with his cake. He didn't eat much of it, but he sure had fun playing with it.
Almost clean...
-Games-
The Photo Booth was so much fun! Some people were a little hesitant to wear
the clown noses, but c'mon, it's for Ryder!!
There are a few things I forgot to take pictures of...Story of my life. One of
those things was the party favors. I put pink and white animals crackers in
a cellophane bag with cute labels that said, "Thank you for coming!".
I also had darling water bottles labels.
After all the preparation and time spent on the computer making everything, I am so
glad we did it! We love our Ryder Guy so much and couldn't have asked for
a better day to celebrate him!!!

Summer, im just someone from Australia who stumbled across this blog and enjoy reading it from time to time. Thanks, Belinda (BAS)
Can you email me your address? I've got an invitation to get to you. Thanks.
Oh, Katie. What a blast. What a wonderful first year you've had. So happy to see you enjoying being a mama. And Ryder is so gorgeous--a lovely mix of you and S.
Katie- could you be more cute...what a fun party. happy birthday little ryder! i love it!
p.s. all of the food looks amazing, of course. and i heard those little cake pops are far from easy to make, so you must have some serious skills. good job!
Of course it is over the top... (the big top) circus reference. I have been waiting for pics since I saw andrews of facebook. Love it love it. And you. Happy life to you!
wow! looks like it was a blast. everything looked amazing...i loved hearing your voice in the car seat video...awwww i miss you! i still can't even believe you have a baby and are so grown up :)
First of all, the party looks amazing and like so much fun. Second (this is random), I remember you saying that the Ergo was the way to go as far as a baby carrier. How old was Ryder when you started using it?
Um, all I have to say is WOW!!! Ryder just had the best b.day party that I've EVER seen! Way to go, Mom! So cute!!!
This looks so adorable. Pretty amazing. What a great idea. I may have to steal the circus theme one year.
Ryder is unbelievably cute. WOW! I am throwing a circus party come August and I am gonna use your clown nose photo booth idea. So cute!
KATIE! It's Michelle Lewis (now Aller) - I found your blog via party perfect blog. I lived in Taylor Hall with you freshman year (you were living with Meiken, right?).
What a sweet party, congrats on your little boy. He's adorable.
So many cute ideas! Thanks for sharing! I thought your photo booth pics turned out fantastic!!
Awww... adorable! So loving the clown nose photos, too!
Fantastic!! I don't even know you guys but I feel like I know you well now!! Thanks for sharing such fun.What great memories to look back on.
