Our Life...

We welcomed Charlie into this world on May 8, 2011 and our lives have never been the same! Life could not be any better and we have been cherishing raising such a sweet little guy. We are blessed!

1st Birthday PAR-TAY!

Parties are always fun, but 1st birthday parties? The best ever. I loved planning this little guy's party, after all, he only turns 1 once! So here is a little recap of the party:

I decided on not doing a theme, since from now on there will probably always be a theme that he chooses! Instead I chose do do colors: green, blue, and orange - great colors and the colors of his bedroom (I can't say nursery anymore, he is 1 year old after all!). We planned on a glorious, sunny day for a birthday party bbq, but instead we got rain and overcast skies, so things were quickly converted outside to accomodate the drizzly weather :( Props to Ben and my parents for all the work they did with this!

Charlie's chocolate smash cake

Food table and a frame that Ben made for me with some leftover wood and chicken wire


Another food table and a banner that I made with black and whites of Charlie with little party hats made from crepe paper and cardstock. This is still hanging up, it is so cute I don't want to take it down yet!



These were the favors for the party, filled with blue, green, and orange M&M's

I saw this wreath on Pinterest and decided to try and make one of my own. I used hundreds of balloons for this bad boy, but it was worth it and now I have it for many more birthdays to come!

I think Charlie would agree that this was one yummy 1st birthday party!!
