We started out Connor's 1 year birthday celebration with presents the morning of his birthday, his favorite meal for dinner, and ice cream afterwards! Here he is opening gifts on his birthday....
This past Saturday, we celebrated with our friends and family. There was a total of 31 guests there including kids and babies (35 if you count the 4 of us). We had a packed house, but it was fun to get everyone together to celebrate our little guy!!
I attempted to make Connor's cake this year, which turned out so much better than Elli's 1st year birthday cake. Scott's Aunt Brenda sent me directions and so I gave it a try!
I had cupcakes and Connor's smash cake made at meijer. They were able to coordinate the colors to match the decorations!
Some pictures of the decorations....
I didn't get a picture of everything completed, but here is an idea. Our menu included: pulled pork, taco dip, finger jello, mac & cheese, fruit, and relish tray. We also had little 'airplane snacks.'
Randy flew all the way in from GA to celebrate Connor's birthday.....OR to help Grandma and Grandpa Brauchler move and his party just happened to be on the same weekend.
The kids loved playing outside on the new swing set!
Connor with his airplane Papa Lindvall made him for Christmas.
Some of our house guests.... (I think I missed a few)
Getting ready to open gifts!
A lot of this was going on! Now Connor loves pop (thanks to the Papas)
This girl couldn't wait for cake!!
Connor wanted that cake the second he saw it!
Digging in....
And then he started playing in it!
Connor enjoyed playing with the gifts more than opening them.
Kensley and Elli had no problem stepping in to help him play with the gifts!!
We had a good day and lots of fun! Thanks to everyone who came out to help us celebrate one very, very special little boy! And thanks to our moms who helped make food, serve food, and clean up the food!
*I also have a DVD of Connor that we had playing during the whole party....I'll have to post that at a later date!
