It's a good thing toddlers are so darn cute because that's just what they are: Little Monsters!  Landon celebrated his first birthday with a monster bash and these adorable cupcakes.

The birthday boy smashed into this monster eagerly at first, but meltdown mode set in quickly.  Too, too cute.  Mom will have lots of fun with those pics once he's older ;)  Special thanks to Landon's dad for providing me with these adorable pics from the party.
