Below, my grandmother painted this cute sign for the event. (The realtor left the 'For sale' sign at our house when we moved in and after calling & leaving messages for her to come & get it & not hearing back for a couple of months, we figured it was ours- I think it'll be fun to repaint for parties/ events) 
The kids had a great time (below) and my mom pushed them around in a Power Wheel Jeep. (It was being trashed on the side of the road so we picked it up but the battery's dead ;) How pretty is Natalie in her princess party dress?!!
Here are some [repeat] photos of the tables (below). It cracked me up when a guest was carrying a bunch of drinks in her hands and asked if she was allowed to set them down on this table or if it was "staged." hahahah uh-oh, have I gone tpo far with this?!! hahah (ps- I think EVERYTHING should be used- even pretty tables!!)
And the plaster of paris flag holders my grandmother made:
And how cute is Christian's mini wheelbarrow-turned-bar? (We used our big wheelbarrow too for the rest of the drinks but this pic is so much better :)
And here is the birthday boy (below)... He had the best time!!! We sang "happy birthday" twice so he could blow out the candles 2 times. He loved it.

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

Cute wheelbarrow bar!
Your backyard is so pretty and green! That giant tree is awesome. The wheelbarrow bar is the best and what great use of a For Sale sign! Glad the little guy had such a good time. Cuteness!
What fun! Love that wheelbarrow too!!
Lauren
Thanks again for the rug. It'll be put in use on the screened porch. We eat out there all summer what a nice addition to that living area.

your son is beyond cute- that blonde hair kills me, I love it :)
AND your backyard is amazing! Everything looks so perfect for the party- of course it is your party and I would not expect anything less. The comment about staged table is too funny!
Oh, and the painted sign for his birthday is just perfect! Glad you had a great weekend and good weather too- xoxox
Happy Birthday to your little guy. My Little Man had his 1st Birthday and Birthday party on the 4th of July too. I wish I had thought of the wheelbarrow bar, I love that idea. Feel free to check out Dutch's birthday part at sweetsoutherntea.blogspot.com
Your Grandmother painted the sign? So cute!!!!
That sign is too much fun! And your little darling, so precious!
Glad you enjoyed your celebrations!
Great party!
Great ideas!
So happy you shared them and hope you don't mind my pilfering them!
What a fun party - I can't decide if the cute flags in the plaster of paris, or the wheel barrow, or the cute birthday boy is my favorite!
Happy Bday Christian! So cute Lauren!
