So Dawson’s FIRST birthday party is this Saturday…and I’m super excited, but kind of sad too…I mean my little baby will be one entire year old on the 23rd, and that’s only 8 days away! I have all these mixed emotions about it, and that’s probably contributing to my baby fever (although I was with a 2 month old baby last night and had NO desire to have another right now.) Anyway, it seems like yesterday I was in dreadful awful pain, having a much shorter labor than I had ever anticipated (3 hours!) and pushing this incredible human into this world. And my first thought was how amazing God is for allowing people to be parents. He must really have it right, this is love. If you don’t know love after having a child, you must not be human…seriously. I had NO idea how my heart would burst with emotion for my son. SERIOUSLY.
And now I have the honor and privilege of watching him literally walk out of his baby year into his first toddler year. Amazing does not begin to describe it. Speaking of walking, it seems like just yesterday I was helping him roll over and finding the greatest joy out of it when he finally did it…then he crawled and he hasn’t slowed down since! Now he’s walking and screaming and laughing and playing and just turning into this wonderful little boy. My wonderful little boy. What did I do right in my life to deserve this?!
Now back to the party planning. If you’re a normal reader of my blog, no doubt you’ve seen his little fire truck invitations (Thanks Again, Janell!) and you know we’re having the party at one of the fire departments that Daniel has been associated with. It’s going to be very laid back and mostly family and close friends who’ve been there from the beginning and since D isn’t in daycare he doesn’t have that many little friends. So here’s what I have so far:
Table Cloths
Table Toppers
Cupcakes (I don’t have them yet, but they will be ready by Saturday)
Ribbon Pull Pinata
Plates
Napkins
What I need:
Pizza (pick it up on Saturday before the party)
Candy for the piñata
Drinks
Veggie Tray
Fruit Tray
Chips and various other snacks…
And here’s the problem, the various other snacks, what snacks do I need? I could do chex mix….but since there’s pizza I just need snacks….Any advice?

Since you are having pizza, maybe some snacks could be bread sticks or cheese squares? You could still do chexmix or trailmix too - that's always a hit :) There's also pretzel sticks... OH! When you get chips - what about BBQ chips? That's "fire" related, right?! Ha! Or make cookies and have them cut out like fire hydrants or dog bones?! Okay, I could be here for days..... ;)
