Hi, My little boy just turned one on the 10th of this month and i put a few balloons up around the room which he loved pointing out to all the relo's that came over and i made him a banana cake and let him have a little piece and made a few platters of fruit, salad and little triangle sandwhiches. He thought he was really gown up because he was eating what everyone else was. It didnt take long to do and it was healthy but most importantly i think he really enjoyed his 1st birthday. I hope this gives you a few ideas. Hollie, mum of Hayden smile
