My baby boy, Max, turned one last month. Ohhh I think Im still in denial that he is one, when my eldest Jack turned one I was fine, but with Max I shed a tear or two..it just goes too fast.
I had so so many ideas for Max's party, and you know how it goes..things rarely go to plan. We moved house the same week so I didnt have time to do a few things, and we had horrible winds on the party day which meant I couldnt have the table outdoors as planned so had to change the backdrop at the last minute, oh well! get over it Sarah ;-)
Anyway it was a beautiful day with friends and family, Max got lovely gifts (that his big brother had a great time opening) and enjoyed his mummy's mudcake very much!
I want to say a special thank you to Renee of NFE Design for photographing the day for us, I didnt have time to take a single photo so thank god for Renee! and how gorgeous is her photography.
I hope you enjoy the pics and I would love to hear your feedback.

PS I love it when people notice the little details (Jordan ;-) )...I like the party boy to co-ordinate with his party, so I made Max his own little badge, and he wore these gorgeous little blue and white striped Oobi baby shorts, too cute.
this party is divine sarah! I cannot believe he is one now too. That is crazy! xx
