We had a small get together for Jack's first birthday. His party was space themed and complete with a solar system birthday cake. The sun was a three layer white cake that we iced bright yellow. We used cupcakes decorated as the different planets to finish out the solar system. Trying to mix up "mars" red was quite an accomplishment. Arthur and I spent a few nights making foil rocket ships to hang from the ceiling. We used tang in the birthday punch and made up some goodie bags using space treats we picked up from the Johnson Space Center gift shop at Arthur's work. Jack seemed a little unsure of what all was going on.... especially when he saw all the decorations around the house. He also was on the verge of tears throughout the Happy Birthday song before cake time. There is one picture above of his face while we sang to him. It is pretty sad looking but he managed to hold it together and enjoy his cake.
