Monsters Inc First Birthday Party for Dax!

First birthday 'chalk board' made using www.picmonkey.com.

We framed and hung above the mantle.

Mike's margaritas were made with Kirkland Brand Margarita Mix from Costco.

Sulley's Blue Raspberry Lemonade was made with Blue Lemonade Kool-aid and Minute Maid frozen lemonade mix.

To make the silverware holder we used empty containers from Gerber Puffs and spray painted lime green. We hot glued a googly eye and drew the mouth with sharpie to complete.

We added photos in and around the photo frames on the family wall to complete the 'look.'

We had all the fixin's for Nacho's in the kitchen

All green, Mike, veggie and fruit platters (and of course chips and salsa for the nachos).

Candy buffet included Sixlets, Flower Power Candies, Salt Water Taffy, Sour Gummy Worms and Eyeball Suckers (not pictured).

Outdoors was a bounce house, lime green tables for eating or visiting (not pictured), and THE SCARE FLOOR! Complete with a real working light on Boo's door!

A no first birthday is complete without the SMASH CAKE!

Icing matched the purple Sulley (with bright blue Sulley ring) and lime green Mike (with lime green frosting and Mike ring) cupcakes. We sadly, forgot to get a photo of these!
