I’m such a proud mom and coupled with my love for parties I tend to celebrate every milestone with some sort of festivity. It’s been like this from the very beginning.  When my son was born my husband and I celebrated for a full year with a small cake each month. The cake tradition continued, but instead of monthly we now celebrate a half birthday with half a cake! This half birthday we decided to honor our son and our love for basketball by throwing a small Varsity Half-Time celebration! The timing was perfect with March Madness in full swing, the NBA Finals, and with this being a half birthday the concept was created into a “Half-time” of a basketball game. We think its a perfect preppy basketball party!
