Lion King 1st Birthday Party
Our little Monroe turned 1 on September 5th! We celebrated with a Lion King themed birthday. It was a magical day celebrating our sweet boy. We had our close family over, took advantage of the lovely late summer weather, got to enjoy our updated deck and keep things Covid safe. The theme came about during the past year when Monroe was fussy, Kyle would show him the opening scene from the Lion King and he was mesmerized. I took inspiration from the movie, the Broadway musical and my collection of African textiles to come up with this sophisticated take on the theme. The talented Megan Schaap captured the details, family and guest of honor so perfectly!
Despite skipping his nap, Monroe had a great day celebrating his first year. His darling jumper is from Rebel GR.
The printable invites from Dove Handcrafted via Etsy were absolutely perfect.
After the birthday boy, the cakes by AP Baked Goods and the cookies by Kind Cookie Co. stole the show!
I printed my monthly photos of Monroe to display his cuteness framed by a mud cloth inspired balloon installation.
Gosh I love this boy!
