Sock Monkey Birthday Party

The weekend after Davis' birthday we celebrated-Sock Monkey Style!  Because this time last year, we were iced/snowed into the hospital we couldn't depend on the weather, turns out it was a beautiful week (70 degree weather) leading up to the party but the day of was a little wet and dreary, good thing we planned the party indoors, just in case.  We held the party in our church's Mat Room (a room full of mats for the kids to play on).  It was a perfect set up and couldn't have been more fun.

Here is the cake (We think Kroger did a pretty good job, given the subject)
Caleb showing his obstacle course in the Mat Room-he is ready for the party to begin.

The food table: We served a plethora of banana type things...Go Bananas (plain old bananas), Monkey Bread, Banana Bread, Banana Pudding, and Monkey Tails (pigs in a blanket tweaked a little)
