Ford's 1st Birthday

Back in June, we headed north to spend time with Big Un and Misa, and to celebrate some very special birthdays for both my boys. We started the day with Ford's 1st birthday party. With loads of help, we pulled off a sweet little shindig for the baby.

the uninvited guest was taken care of by Midway

 

this child will not eat anything of color, so he inspected the cake closely

before realizing that he does like colored sugar

 

Ford did not realize that with a smash cake it should be all over his face and clothes.

Instead, he made sure it only went into his mouth.

 

Thanks to Off the Square Photography for the pictures, Edgar's Bakery in Birmingham for the birthday and smash cakes, Amanda Roberson Art for the invitations, the paper cups and push pops came from Sweet Lulu (of course that's not all I bought from this adorable site), the ballons we hung on fishing line (instead of buying 12 helium tanks) came from Amazon, the buckets came from Target over two years ago and all the other items came from my mom's building (yes, she has a building full of party stuff).
