Wow.... I don't really even know where to start with this post and am even thinking I don't even know what pictures to put up in this post. This, all in all, was one amazing day and one that I will never ever forget. The day started off just right. Brennan slept in (thankfully!) and took one heck-a-va nap that afternoon (4 hours to be exact!) so that gave me a lot of time to get the house ready. I had balloons, made table cloths, made party favors for the kids, presents galore and just needed to pick up the food and the cake. This, to me, wasn't going to be a typical first birthday party. No themes. No cuteness. Just a night for all of our friends and family to come and celebrate this joyous little boy that has been a part of our lives for a year now. What better way to do this then with lots of beer, lots of BBQ and lots of socializing. It was perfect.
Most everyone started to show up at the house around 5:00. The weather was awesome. Kids were playing in the backyard. All of the parents were out back on the deck. I was truly amazed with how many people came (63 people!!!) to celebrate. I always think, the bigger the crowd the better the party. We celebrated for hours. Ate dinner and did the traditional cake pictures and present opening. B loved the cake and ice cream and to our amazement used a fork for the very first time and used it like he knew what he was doing. The presents..... oh my goodness, the presents. It was UNREAL. They were everywhere and actually still are. Most everyone stayed until 8:00 and we had a few stragglers til roughly 10. Baby B crashed that night..... well, I think we all did.
It was a perfect day....which is exactly what I wanted. I know that he wont remember any of this, but I wanted it perfect for baby B. He is a life worth celebrating to so many.
