Morgan's 1st Birthday Party at Petland

Ok, I know that I should edit out more of these photos... but I can't! We took so many photos that day. Morgan had his 1st birthday party the day after his actual birthday because his birthday fell on a Friday this year. We love love love Petland. It is the best pet store in the world. Petland is an actual pet store. It's not just a pet supply store like Petco or PetSmart. Morgan and I often go there to play with the tons of animals they have. And they have the odd animals that you don't usually see... like chinchillas, ground squirrels, monkeys and tons of other unique pets. All of the birds, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs and small rodents are in open cages. I just reach in and grab whatever I want. They also have little rooms to play with the puppies. We rented out their birthday room for his party. We had 11 babies and their parents. It was so easy. They gave us three staff members to run the party. They handled everything. I didn't even have to serve the cake or drinks. After a tour of the aquarium room they brought in different groupings of animals. The kids had a ball!

Here's Morgan in his 1st birthday shirt with a guinea pig. I forgot his name. But, the staff members had named all of the animals.

Yummy! Everyone had blue cup cakes and Morgan had his own white "smash cake". Moms called me the next week with reports of blue baby poop... ewwe!

The setup was so cute. Morgan even had his own special 1st birthday hat.
