It looks like some tiny fingers, may have sampled some frosting. |
We had the party over at my parent's house. My parents and Rob helped me hang a few decorations. I found this free printable birthday banner on Pinterest. If you're into chevron designs and are looking for a cute birthday banner, I pinned it here. The sign is customizable. You choose from the different colors available, type the letters you want and then print and cut out the shapes. I hung the banner with tiny clothes pins and string. (except for the letter "O" which I taped, because I didn't have enough).
Next, I found the EASIEST way to hang balloons. Again, I found this on Pinterest and pinned it here, if you're interested. You blow up the balloons, or ask for some assistance, like I did. Then you grab a needle and thread (I used a heavier upholstery type thread). Next, pass the needle through the end that you've tied off, being careful not to poke your needle into any of the balloons. I only popped one. Once you have them on the thread, you can spread the balloons out and hang with thumb tacks on the wall.

After lunch, Santino helped open his presents. Actually, I did most of the unwrapping. We followed it by watching this little guy have at it with his smash cake. |
"Well...Looky HERE. What do we have?" |
"The fun has now begun!" |
Santino covered his hands in cake and frosting and then would clap repeatedly. |
"Do you like my goatee soul patch?" |
Cousin Sydney was watching the escapades with Rob's Dad (a.k.a. Grandpa BoBo). |

Santino pretty much destroyed his cake. |
He had a ball! |
Maximus couldn't resist waiting for a bite. |
My brother with cousin Isaiah were in stitches, laughing at the show Santino put on. |
If it hadn't been so hot out, we could have let him make the mess outside. At least the floor got a good mopping, thanks to my mom. |
Chunks of cake and frosting were everywhere. |
After the mess was made and Santino had about demolished the entire cake, my oldest brother helped me wash Santino off in the kitchen sink, while Rob hosed the high chair off outside. |
And Maximus finally got a piece of cake and ice cream. |
The kids had a lot of fun together |
