Ethans 1st Birthday: The Party & Decor!

Posted on the 19 April 2014 by Alex_bumptobaby @bumptobaby_blog
Friday was Ethans 1st ever birthday party and I was so pleased with how it turned out. It was lovely to have family over and finally be able to enjoy our new house. Ethan has been teething all through his birthday and on Friday his teething pain was at it's height so he was quite a bit upset but apart from that everything went really well. I was so pleased with the decor, as I'd been planning it for quite some time and having to imagine how it would all look in our new home. I can't believe it's come and gone so quickly!
