Erik's first birthday party
I think everyone had a good time. :) It was a smaller crowd than our usual parties since I only know 4 families with kids in Erik's age range and two of them declined. All told there were 6 kids and 6 adults. I found it much more manageable than our usual guest list so I might cut back on who I invite for the others. LOL It was a Viking theme, based solely on his name. I made Viking helmets, of course. 
Each child also got a plush dragon (I asked for colors ahead of time so there was no "but I wanted the RED ONE" angst to deal with).
I made a small Viking ship out of half a milk carton, a straw and some paper. I filled it with Swedish fish and gummy sharks.
I made a big Viking ship out of a cardboard box and filled it with Erik and his guests. Hee.
The cake was just a white cake with red food coloring swirled in (Jake decorated the top with mounds of sprinkles). I had planned to make a dragon shaped cake, but got a migraine the night before which put a halt to that plan. In any case, it was enjoyed.
It was a lot of fun, and I wasn't up until 4am making anything which is always good. :)
