For William's birthday, we decided to do a bug-themed party. We had lots of fun, and we really appreciated all of those who came.
The invitation.
Yep, David and I made it! The inside said "... to a bug party!"

The birthday cake.
I decided to make cupcakes and decorate them like bugs. We made ladybugs, bumble bees, and a caterpillar using regular sized cupcakes. We used mini cupcakes to make ants. The white birthday cake was free from Macey's. I thought all our cupcakes turned out super cute! David and I did a great job, if I may say so myself! Oh, and may I just point out how perfect the chocolate cupcake looks - just like a rose!
Game and Presents.
Once everyone arrived and had a few moments to visit, we started the party. We had the kids play "pin the stinger on the bee" (David made the bee for us). They had lots of fun! My niece, Josie came the closest and won "The Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. After the game William opened presents with some assistance. Thanks for all the great gifts everyone (even you, Becky)!
Make a wish!
We then sang happy birthday to our sweet William!
William's 1st cupcake.
William got to eat the head of the caterpillar. He was not shy at all with the cupcake and had a great time eating it. I loved how he picked it up and started eating it like he does a plum.
My friend, Christie, requested a video of him eating cake. Here it is!
William's 2nd cupcake.
David's mom decided that William needed another cupcake. Then my dad decided William wasn't dirty enough and used some frosting to finger paint on William.
Almost done! What a messy boy!!!
William really enjoyed his party! It took a while to clean him up, though. David, William, and I really enjoyed William's birthday. It was so fun to plan and carry out his birthday party. Thanks again to all that came and for all the great presents. And a special thanks to my grandparents for letting us use their backyard for the party. I'm glad you had a great birthday, William! We love you!

That is awesome. I love that the frosting was green. Hope he had a good birthday. He sure is a cute kid.
You make me look like a terrible mom! Just kidding, what a fun party!! We definitely need to get together! If not before my baby comes, then soon after so you can see her and so I can give you back all your clothes! Thank you so much for letting me borrow them again!
