Yesterday we had such a wonderful 1st birthday party. Yes, I know....1st birthday parties are not so much for the kids but pretty much to make the mom happy. And yep, I'm happy! It went great. I loved our theme and everything tied together so well. We had wonderful food, and great family and friends over. I am so thankful for everyone that came because each play an important role in my boys' lives.

Here's the cake. Isn't it
amazing? I was so pleased. Our friend Keith's mom makes cakes and she did this for us. She lives in Dallas and is so cheap for what she does. And the cake tasted great too, which is an added bonus! (I'll gladly give out her name and number to anyone interested!)

Zach was a bit more hesitant. He dug in but didn't really care for the frosting. He just wanted the cake part inside.
Playing around after the party.

Looks like it was a perfect day. You really out did yourself. Great memories from the whole year. Love the post picture boards.
Melissa, it looks like the party turned out wonderfully. I'm so excited for you. The boys are growing so fast! Take care.
