Parker's #1 Birthday Party Part 2

We kept it to a small group of family and friends.  Who knew his party would turn out to be so great with a beautiful day with perfect weather!

The festivities looked a little something like this...

It was a "ball themed party" b/c if you have met my kid...you know why.  He can entertain himself with a ball for entirely too long...for a one year old.  Thank you Edgar's for such a yummy cake.

Our party favors were LIGHT-UP, 

bouncy balls

I used Parker's hospital wreath in our decorations

I don't even know what this drink was...
some blue koolaid type stuff with sprite
I just made it up, turned out pretty good.

Pics from his first year

sidenote: that high chair is the one my sis, 

bro and myself used when we were babies.

My sweet friend Holli came up with this...

I found these cute sports themed cards at Hobby Lobby on clearance.  

I think I paid $1.50 for the whole pack.  Wrote our thank you notes on them and included pics of friends and family.

A simple way to personalize it.

now it's time to dig in...

parker's great grandparents made the trip down from Huntsville

justin's family

part of the parker family.  

my parents weren't able to make it, 

which is why we did an early bday celebration with them

we never could get us all together during the festivities but finally got a group shot of the Parker crew before bed.

too much cuteness!
