A Birthday Party!

G's birthday was on the 8th, but since it's difficult to get everyone together on a weeknight (without G being grumpy because he's up too late), we had his party on Saturday!  It was super-fun!  It was nice to see some friends and family that we haven't seen in a while!  We didn't take a ton of pictures, but there are enough here for you to get the idea!

The table:  complete with cake, framed pictures of months 1-11, and sugar cookies in the shape of "G", "1" and a star!  I decided that the "theme" was just bright, primary colors.  I really liked those napkins (with matching invitations, party hat, high chair kit, etc.) and based the theme around it!

Balloons and a little banner (hanging on the mirror).  This picture was an afterthought, so pay no mind to the mess!

He was not too happy about being strapped into his high chair.  This is a good shot of his really cute 1st birthday onesie (the one he only wore for a few hours on his actual birthday).

He was fascinated by the cake!  He took a swat at the icing!

Singing "Happy Birthday"--he just looked around like, "what is going on??"

He was hesitant at first... but after he squished the icing through his fingers for a minute, he warmed up to it.

Clearly, he warmed up to it!  And just for fun, Daddy gave him a second piece! (yaaaaaay....) He stayed in his high chair for about an hour and got most of it in his mouth.  (Why can't he eat real food that well??)

I love his face here--like he just got away with something!  He made such a mess!  And he had such a sugar high that he was crawling around like a crazy person that afternoon... until he crashed, of course!

It was a fun party!  I can't believe we didn't get pictures of any of the people who were there!  We had a good turnout!  It's been a great year!  G is one loved little boy and is lucky to have so many people celebrate the day he was born!!
