Donut social for our babe, Han Bon.

In less than a month our baby boy will turn a year old (yes, 11-month milestone photo to come). So, to celebrate Danny and I are throwing him a petite and cozy birthday party. We are getting married the same week of his b-day, so we didn't want to throw some huge extravaganza. Also because he's turning 1. And although that's a feat for us, the parents, he won't know the diff. We also decided to keep this party donut social a family affair, so we only invited parents, siblings, aunts, and uncles.

Since we didn't want to go all out and put down a lot of cash (again we're getting married later that week), we sent out evites. I knew Danny would love this evite design and how cute that Han's up to level 1?! We're having it early (in-between his naps) and thought donuts were a great, inexpensive treat to serve to our guests. And no, Han will not be eating a donut. He's eating a much more healthier treat.

With any luck, his smash cake will look like this. I'm using the recipe Heather from Fit Mama Real Food made for her son's 1st b-day. It's a no sugar banana cake and, from the sound of it, super yummy. There are only 8 ingredients and 3 for the frosting and I feel pretty confident I can successfully make this for Han. Since we are trying to raise Han vegan, I'll substitute the cream cheese that's for the frosting with Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese. Hopefully it'll whip up as nicely as the cream cheese. 

Man, I sure can't wait to celebrate my baby boy's 1st birthday. This year flew by even though the first 3 months felt like an eternity in hell. That being said, being this kid's mom was so worth the pain, anxiety, and tears. 

So yeah, I'm pretty effin' excited to celebrate my lil' man's first year of existence. That face though. ♥♥♥♥♥
