What to do for Khai's 1st?

Trying to figure out what to do for Khai's 1st birthday has driven me mad for the past month or more. I went back and forth between Dora and Elmo and Halloween and a million other themes. In the end I decided I'd do something Dora because he loves her so much. John felt it was too girlie and suggested Diego..from Go Diego Go (Dora's BOY cousin). Nah. I wrestled with the whole Dora thing for awhile and finally decided i'd go with a Halloween Dora theme. Perfect. Even better when I found the Halloween episode of Dora - Khai's all time favorite video. We watch it at least 6 times per day and John and I find ourselves singing the songs and saying the lines without realizing we are doing it.

Back to the party theme - I had such a hard time figuring out what to do for the invite until Trish put a great one together for me... but then I couldn't find anything for the decorations. I found more Halloween things than Dora - actually I found plenty of Dora things but nothing I liked... SO...now we are going with a Halloween theme... the decorations will stay up the rest of the month and most likely all the way thru Christmas knowing us....

Was it supposed to be this hard?
