Planning Oliver's First Birthday

My little baby is turning one! Where has the time gone? Seriously, where? I have heard so many adults throughout my life say this when they are talking about how fast their children grow up, but come on!! I never believed it would really feel this fast. There are moments that it feels like months have just flown by, but at the same time I don't remember what I did with my time before him. Craziness.
I have decided not to throw a big first birthday for Oliver. The party will consist of mostly family. But, I do want to do a few special things. Since his birthday is in May I have been inspired by Maypoles.

I plan on using these bright and cheerful colors to decorate. Check out this amazing rainbow cake. I know it looks like quite an undertaking for someone who has trouble following a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I have to give it a try!
