Super Bowl First Birthday

Yes my son turned one a few weeks ago and in honor of my water breaking on Super Bowl Sunday while shopping for grocieries last year (not kidding actually in Whole Foods), we decided to throw him a football themed party on Super Bowl Sunday. Since we have been experiencing a lot of rain in SoCal this winter, we decided to play it safe and hold it at an indoor playground called Under the Sea. Food served included typical child-friendly football snacks...pretzels, animal crackers, fruit skewers, fruit crushers, seven layer dip and of course pizza.

For decor I found some cute football lanterns and football field table cloths at Oriental Tradingas well as mini footballs and football-themed rubber duckies for the kids to take home as favors. Cookies were from Beckers Bakery and the mini cupcakes were from Suzi Cakes. Che cupcake toppers were found in the dollar section of Target (one of my favorite parts of the store). To keep the theme going, we asked all of the kids to wear their favorite team jerseys to the party. Everyone looked adorable and it was fun to see who supported what team.

My son Tripp's favorite part was of course the cupcakes (we had Suzi Cakes make special ones with green icing to make the photos even funnier...always looking for a good photo op!).

Here are a few inspiring images of other football inspired cakes and cupcakes if you have a bigger budget:

These bag & shoes are really a cake if you can believe it!
