Annalise's attended her first birthday party. Her little friend Max turned one! The theme was the card game UNO. As his birthday gift I freezer-paper stenciled him an UNO shirt to wear to his party. (Idea and tutorial from here.) I've been wanting to try the technique for awhile and it turned out really cute!
Here he is sporting his shirt.
We made him a card,
and since I really love a theme party (and Max's mom Kelsey!) I helped out by designing an UNO-themed invitation,
and making some fun decorations. Among them were lots of paper pom poms,
some UNO-themed party plates,
and an UNO card birthday "cake".
Max's mom made some really adorable cupcake toppers.

Max slowly and methodically enjoyed his cake.
