Owen's First Birthday

It was almost 2 months ago already that our sweet baby boy turned 1 year old.  It was a wonderful celebration with all of our family and some friends.  It was a ball theme and of course, I went overboard, but I'm so happy with how it turned out.

We celebrated at the club house at Patti and Dan's condo complex and it was perfect.  A great big room with plenty of space for everyone.  It was on Saturday December 14th.

I decided on the ball theme, well, because Owen LOVES balls.  At home, at daycare, he loves to play with balls.  And, it's a word he could say at his first birthday.  It sounds more like "baaww" but we know what he means.  :o)

I designed the invites and did a lot of the details to match the ball theme.  Here are some pictures of the details.

Jake loved the ball pit!

 So did Wally--Owen, not so much.  Every time he went near it he would cry.

CAKE TIME!

MMM...this is so good!

 Let me just stick my whole hand in my mouth.

 Love my family!

Thanks to everyone who came and made Owen's first birthday perfect!  It was a wonderful day celebrating a very special boy.  This was quite the year and we can't wait to see what this next year has in store.  One thing's for certain....I won't be throwing a big birthday for 2.  :o)
