If you’ve been inspired by the boy’s birthday parties we’ve shared before, you’re probably familiar with the ones Jacquelyn of Beijos Events has styled up for her little man Court. There’s the critter-themed 1st birthday, the dino 2nd birthday, and of course, his superhero birthday party a couple years back. This time around, we’re celebrating his 5th (can you believe it?!), which he specifically requested be camping-themed. It all took place right at home and even included some reptile entertainment from the crew at Prehistoric Pets. See more photos by Alison Bernier below!

This event designer mama usually steers clear of the color red, but when it’s your little dude’s fave, it’s gotta be there. Enter lots and lots o’ plaid!

Srsly, who knew a plaid blanket could be such a rad backdrop?! And balloons too, of course.

A backyard campout is the very best kind of campout.

There were balloons, deer, buffalo plaid, and plenty of s’mores desserts for the kiddos to enjoy.

Cute lil’ placemats for these happy campers.

As the party went on, guests gathered to take a peek at some very exciting visitors…

Eeeek! Brave kiddos, right here.

So fun! BTW, Court’s little bro Cruz has also had some pretty fun at-home birthday parties so far, like this jungle-themed party and monster-themed party.

Happy 5th, Court!

Well here we are, mamas! Another year in the books and it’s been so lovely spending it with you and your littles. We hope you have a restful, cozy time with your families over the next few weeks and we’ll see you in the new year. We can’t wait to disconnect entirely and focus on these little faces that mean everything to us.

Happy, merry everything. Let’s do this 2018!

Happy almost Christmas, everyone! We’ve got just one more feature for ya in this week of holiday festivities (start here if you’re catching up!), a cozy winter maternity sesh taken by the talented Dani Cowan Photography in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Shall we?

Don’t know about you, but Christmas baby bumps happen to be one of our very faves. Okay, they’re all our very faves…

Such a lovely shoot location, right? Mentally transporting ourselves to a cozy cabin (and away from the holiday madness!) in the mountains right about now…

These two are so sweet. Love your style, mama!

All the best to this soon to be party of 3!
