1st Birthdays

We are planning Hunter's First Birthday party and when I say "we" I mean "me"... :)
I started 4 months ago and then decided it was WAY too early however I had already priced venues, found a bakery, selected decorations, etc. 
When the Clubhouse Drama happened in late October, I realized I would definitely have to pay to have his party somewhere else since there is no room in our tiny apartment and we didn't have any on-site options.
Next week I was planning on putting a deposit down for a room on River Road however in light of the new developments with Roseland, I may wait on it and rent the room in Building 28 instead since it's more convenient for my neighborhood guests. 
We've decided not to go overboard so we will have just an intimate gathering. 
This was decided after attending about five 1st Birthdays in the past three months.
Trust me, I know how easy it is (as a Mom) to want a spectacular first shin-dig for your tot...however that being said, it's been increasingly more evident to me that the kiddles are
 TOTALLY clueless to the occasion being in their honor and therefore they aren't always as cooperative with the "plans". 
Besides, aside from a few key pictures, there will be no memory of this party for our little Hunter and while I will make sure it's fun for our guests I don't believe I'm going to rent a Petting Zoo and a Moonwalk Bounce House quite yet. 
Here's a pic of Hunter at his friend Luka's First Birthday party today. This captures the overall theme of the party :) --->
