\"Pre-Australia<\/p>\n

It is not a secret that I love Dr. Seuss!  So when we found out we were having a boy, I knew immediately what the theme of the first birthday would be…Dr. Seuss.  I loved planning this party, one of my favorites actually, even if I had to make everything from scratch because apparently Africa doesn’t really know who Dr. Seuss is.  Shame!  Here is a quick recap of the party in pictures and captions.<\/p>\n

Birthday Memory book \u2013 each party guest was asked to write a special note to Max somewhere in the book.  Here is what the sign says:  Wait!  Stop here you see, and write a very special message to me! A birthday wish or just say hi, to your favorite ONE year old guy. On the front, the back or any page, It is something I will treasure all my days!  Love, Maxwell Simo (who is turning 1!)<\/p>\n

The Cake Smash<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

It took him awhile to figure out the whole cake thing.  He actually really only wanted to eat the red dots of icing.  You can see the full unedited version of his cake experience here<\/a> (which will probably only interests family)!<\/p>\n
