anatomy of a party in photos + words

Riley turned on last Saturday. We had a party/naming ceremony for him.

I made white chocolate mud cake 

{the same recipe I used for Natalie's birthday}

I made the balloon wreath

My mum made pinwheels

{from the Flyin' High papers}

and tissue paper balls

I made vanilla cupcakes

Mum made the cupcake toppers

{from the kit}

and I made the tie for his shirt

{printed one of the papers on fabric}

a simple banner hanging in the marquee

the kids were part of our naming ceremony

he went to sleep just after this, so we had cake the next day

he was quick to poke the cake when I put it down in front of him
