Very Hungry Caterpillar birthday party

The birthday boy


Caterpillar cake/cupcake


Lucas eats about anything. If he's eating something and notices you eating something different he will throw whatever he's eating and try to grab at what you're eating. He is very vocal when it comes to food. So it seems natural that the theme to his birthday party was the children's popular book The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The great thing about the book was that it set the menu for the food. We served all the food (in some form) from the book except the ice cream cone. (That caterpillar sure ate a lot of sweets!) My cousin Nimfa is a preschool teacher and she did an interactive storytime with the kids. Since the party was also the day before Easter we decided to do a small egg hunt. It was a fun time and great to see friends and family to celebrate Lucas' very first birthday. Thanks to others for taking great pictures!

Food! You can see the platter of cheese, salami, and mini sausages and mini cherry cheesecake
