Sissy Bear's 1st Birthday!!

(That's the princess bear on her actually birthday with her royal guards, Sydney and Sadie, at her side!)

 



Our baby bear is finally 1!  The year seems like it has flown by.  So much has happened through the year and we are so grateful just to be alive and healthy!  Delaney has earned the nickname of bear throughout her first year of life so I figured why not a bear theme for her 1st birthday!  The nickname is because sometimes she is a honey bear or a sugar bear and sometimes she is a grizzly bear...hahahaha!  I made her little cupcakes that her brother bear helped decorate!  We used teddy grahams on some and then made paw prints on others.  We used peppermint patties and junior mints to do this!  Here they are:

We also made bear snack mix.  It had teddy grahams (honey and chocolate chip), mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and honeycomb cereal.

Everything was pretty much pink, white, and purple, of course because she is a girl!  Her cake was a bear face I made.  I melted Hershey kisses down and made the nose and eyes with them.  I had it all finished when brother bear told me it needed something.  It was the bow!

 

 

Her birthday outfit was a tutu I made on whim the night before!  I had bought the bear hugs shirt at a garage sale for a $1 and couldn't pass it up and not have her wear it!

Here is our sissy bear!

 

That's me, brother bear, and sissy bear!

 

 

 

Woodland Baby Mobile

 

I looked and looked and looked for a gift for a very good friend for her baby shower.  She is the one we held the shower for in the woodland animal theme.  I found all of these felt animals on pinterest and thought for sure this is something I could do.  I took a swing at it and this is what I ended up with!

 

I made all of the animals out of felt.  I stuffed and handstiched them.  I also added a little glue behind things such as the owl's wings or the deer's face or the tree's dots.
