So of course we celebrated and had a big 'ol party for him this past weekend! =)
Since his nursery (which is slowly turning into more of a little boy's room) is a sports theme, we decided to do a sports themed party as well. And as luck would have it, when we went to the party store here in town to pick up all the paper goods and decorations, they happened to have a first birthday, boy, sports theme! (Yay!) Needless to say, this made us very happy. Anyways, everything ended up looking WAY cute once we got it all back to "party station central" and got it all out and ready to go. The party went off without a hitch - no meltdowns, sleepiness, crankiness, or anything (from Noah or any of his other little friends)! His Mimi made him his own little baseball cake to dig into, and gave us a crash course on how to "professionally" decorate sports balls on the tops of cupcakes for all the guests. We served punch, Keurig drinks, and a little bit of snack food to go with all the cake. Only a few people that were invited couldn't come, so needless to say, the house was packed! It was fun watching Noah dig into his cake.... although for like the first 2 minutes, he wasn't quite sure what to do or think about it. He still didn't get completely into it and all over himself like we thought he would have, but he did seem to enjoy it anyhow. After cake, he got to open all of his presents - and did a pretty good job of it too! He got a ton more than we ever expected and we have NO idea where we'll put everything! We're pretty sure he has every toy and book on the market now. ;)
So that's it - in a nutshell! =) Fun stuff!! =)
Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us and helped make Noah's first birthday party so much fun! Thank you to everyone who offered to help, and DID help - it made it quite a success!
Our mutual friends Heather and Taysie did a great job of taking pictures and videos of everything with our cameras, and the memories they helped us create turned out great. Here's a few pictures of all the festivities that day.
