Kranz Co. Life in Bloom

William is 1!

Our sweet little man turned ONE. This was definitely more a celebration that we survived a year (a hard year). We are so grateful for our friends who not only celebrated with us, but have supported us with this parenting journey.

Party Plan

• Location: Neighborhood Club House
• Food: Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese
• Dessert: Rice Krispies, chocolate covered pretzels & Nothing Bundt Cakes
• Activities:
  • Winter themed coloring pages & craft station
  • Bounce House (big favorite for the older kids)
• Decor:
  • Balloon Arch (put together by the dearest of friends) – she cut some local greenery and added it in for a pop of color.
  • Paper Bag Snowflakes (twine, command strips & paper bags)
  • Little trees
  • Taller tabletop trees
  • Paper Plates/bowls (small bowls & large Plates)
  • Napkins
  • ONE sign was homemade with paper mache letters & paint (amazon has some options, but I got mine cheaper & hobby lobby)
  • Picture wall with photos from birth to year 1 (use the twine & paper clips to hang)

Overall Thoughts: We loved getting to celebrate William turning 1. This was a great excuse to be around the people we love and who loved us so well. The 1st year of Williams life was hard. Transition into parenthood was difficult & making it a year was a big milestone for us. I think it is easy to go extravagant & big, which for some is great. For us it meant renting a bounce house, crockpot soup & some of the best friends.
