I know it's a while away yet for our LO but what kind of food did you all serve at their 1st birthday parties? We were thinking of doing a 2 in the afternoon on a Saturday get together with family mostly and a few friends. We'll have an awesome cake but I have no idea what else to serve.
Oh yeah, it'll be in the fall and "owl" theme, R has loved owls since he was born. It's the perfect fit because he was born in October, his name is Rowan and Rowan University's mascot is an owl! (Plus his room is already woodland themed with owls everywhere...) so yeah, any owl/nature themed foods are good too!
TIA
Re: 1st Birthday
I once made a cheeseball that we covered with whole almonds to make it look like a pinecone. The bonus is that the low carb crowd didn't have to use crackers, they used the almonds to dip. It was a big hit. Google it to see if you can get pictures of one. I just winged it (wung it?), but I'm sure you could make it even prettier.
Um, nature themed? Maybe google Christmas stuff, since everything that I can think of is actually a christmas dessert. Like that candy you make with those chinese noodles and butterscotch that looks like little branches?
Parents magazine a couple of months ago had a great section on different birthday themes. I really think they had an owl or a forest theme.
The other snack is Ants on a Log. Basically raisins on peanut butter stuffed celery.
Sorry, I'm not being very much help!!!
Oh, and if you are having it in October I always love spiced cider punch!
