We celebrated our baby’s 1st birthday party over the weekend. I still can’t believe that was our last 1st birthday party…sniff, sniff…ok, moving on.
We welcomed our guests in cowboy style with a “Howdy” sign made of rope.
To get in the cowboy spirit we asked everyone to ‘git their gear’ on their way in (bandanas and sheriff’s stars).
Even the 4 legged cowboys got into the swing of things.
The kids panned for gold (play sand, pie tins with holes cut out and fake gold coins from the party store). This cost less than $10 and my kids are STILL playing with it.
We had a cowboy boot pinata
The kids were given their own special meal of PB&J, apple sauce and “cow chow” served in a berry pint container and tied with twine and a tag that said “good grub.”
I made a sign for the birthday boy’s high chair using paisley JPG’s found on google and some paisley ribbon. We used a bandana for his bib.
The cowboys and cowgirls were each sent home with a good bag full of cowboy themed goodies, tied with twine and the 1st letter of their names made out of twine.
To make rope letters or signs mix 1/4 cup of Elmers glue, 1/8 cup cornstarch and a few tablespoons of water. Dip the twine or rope in the mixture and form the letter, phrase or name on parchment paper and let dry for 24 hours. I used this method to create the letters for the kids’ names and a ‘cowboy up’ sign for the beer.
Last but not least a shot of the birthday boy himself with his birthday present (the few moments his brothers haven’t taken it from him).
