Augie's Second Birthday Bash......Part 1, The Food

Augie is obsessed with Toy Story or as he calls it, Buzz. For a while, we watched it several times a week and played with the hand me down action figures the cousins gave us. So when it came for a theme for his birthday, I knew without a doubt, we would do a Toy Story theme. In my search through Pinterest, there were so many cute ideas and had time and money not been an issue, I would have gone just as overboard as them. If you ask my husband, he will say that I definitely went way overboard with the planning, decorations, money etc. I think it's safe to say that we all had fun and it was well worth it. Although the husband has already said that we aren't doing a big party like that for Juniper's 1st birthday. I just smiled and nodded, knowing full well that won't be the case.

The food was pretty simple. I spent a majority of my time on decorations. We ordered pizza and breadstick and called it from Pizza Planet, had Lotso Strawberries and Dip, Wheezy's Cheese Dip, Big Al's Cheese Puffs, Hamms Bacon Wrapped Smokies, Mr and Mrs. Potato Head Chips. THen we had cake and I made cookies that we supposed to look like Jessie's hat but my sister informed me looked like boobies. I guess it was a pinterest fail.

The cake was made from Cache Bakery here in town. I spent way too much money on it but it turned out really cute and tasted amazing. As it turns out, Augie doesn't like frosting and it makes him puke. We have learned that the hard way, unfortunately more than once. So, during the blowing out of the candles, which is his favorite thing and had to do multiple times, he got a little close and landed in the cake. I was scared he would up chuck on the cake and we would have an American Funniest Home Video Moment, however, he managed to only gag a few times.
