Andre's 1st Birthday Party

Since Andre's birthday is the 4th of July, we decided to have his party on the 3rd so that our friends would be able to come. We invited just two families and had a nice little party. It was a monkey party. WE LOVE YOU, ANDRE!

It was fun decorating for this party. I built this tree out of an old box, and figured out how to make the monkeys by looking up a tutorial online and experimenting with my own design. I like how it turned out.

I didn't make this brown monkey...but I did prepare all the yummy food. :)


This was a lift-the-flap poster we made with various monkeys and things underneath...and this one photo of Andre with his own monkey buddy.

Here Andre is showing everyone his photo album so they can study for his "How well do you know the birthday boy" quiz.





YUM!


Andre's first little puppy from Daddy. He loves this thing. It moves and barks.


Andre and Emily playing.

Meanwhile, Paulo played outside with his friend, Calvin.

What a memorable day!

Oh my goodness, Andre is so grown up! I haven't checked your blog in a while. I'm glad your move went well and the kids are too cute. We won't see you for a while since we're moving to Texas this week but good luck with everything!
