Pharaoh Onyx's Wild Rumpus-- Where the Wild Things are themed 1st birthday party

LET THE WILD RUMPUS START
My baby boy Pharaoh Onyx turned one October 10th, we celebrated his first year by throwing a wonderful party with family and friends and filled with fun! The theme I chose was Where the Wild Things are from the award winning children's book by Maurice Sendak. I knew that this party project would have to be totally DIY, but I was up for the challenge. My Mommy-Queen Creator spirit was in full effect and it turned out wonderfully! Thanks to pinterest and other internet resources I was able to make it happen!

The King of All Wild Things banner with my little ones
 face.. made with Vista prints & it was 50% off, it was a great deal!
 
The Max tissue pom pom I made
and The Birthday Boy in his mommy made costume!
I know Max is a wolf in the book but the costume was last minute
and a fox tail was all I could find! And he still looked adorable!
