First Birthday!!!

Ok, so the pics didn't upload in the right order and I don't have the time to fix it so - we'll just have to deal with them the way they are.

Anyway, we had Max several birthday parties. The official first birthday party was on Dec 19th and we had it at one of the party halls where my Dad lives. It's a nice facility and worked well for the party. My parents, Chris' parents, Lena, Aunt Lori, Mike Weston (our friend) and The Hodges: Todd, Marianne and Macey all came. We had a wonderful time and Lil Man enjoyed himself. Covered in cake

Posing, aren't I cute
Just started in on his smash cake

I love opening presents and I LOVE tissue paper

Decorations galore

I did the theme in bright colors: all red, yellow, green and blue

I think it turned out really pretty and bright which is all I wanted anyway

Food, yum

Ok, so after the 12/19 party he got to have another party day on his actual birthday 12/30

I celebrated with him alone that morning because I took the day off of work

We had a blast and he and I made muffins with cream chesse icing which he loved

My parents came over that morning and celebrated with him too

That evening we went to Lena's house where Chris and Lori met up after work

Paul and Kathy had spent the entire day working on a frog cake for Max

So, technically I guess this Lil Man got several parties, but he deserved it and enjoyed every minute of them all
