Lions and Monkeys and Alligators...TEAGAN IS ONE

Teagan turned 1 on December 3rd. We wanted to have our family there to help us celebrate so we drove to Gridley for the party. I had been planning Teagan's party for months and finally it was party time!! We spent all day getting things ready...hanging streams, blowing up balloons, making cakes, wrapping presents and dressing Teagan in his elephant costume. The party was jungle themed and all the kids were dressing up in animal costumes. The day went by so fast that all of a sudden it was 4:00 and people were coming.
Last minute decorations. IT NEEDS MORE STREAMERS!!!
What's a jungle without the king, zebra, alligator and elephant.
One of the games we played was PIN THE TAIL ON THE MONKEY. We also had a bowling tournament.
Teagan in half his elephant costume opening his presents. He got some fun stuff, lots of books, noise maker toys, clothes and of course a new car seat. What's a one year party without the new car seat?
CAKE TIME!!! Alligator cake.
Teagan's cake was supposed to be zebra print. But when I went to frost it all I had left was green frosting. SO, he got a green zebra print cake with strawberries.
First bite...
Umm, Teagan, you have a little smutz on your face...
That's better!!
I NEED MORE CAKE!!
We had a fun party, but the next day, Teagan's favorite toy was the box his car seat came in.
