Michael's 1st Birthday Party

Here it is: the big birthday party post!!

We had Michael's birthday party on Sunday afternoon. We had a big crowd and things went smoothly despite my really last minute planning. It is so fun to have a house full of people all having a good time!



I made the cupcakes and really had little idea of what I wanted to do for decoration-I think the sprinkles turned out cute! I frosted them with icing in a ziploc bag with the tip cut off the morning of the party so I didn't have to worry about storing them.

For food we had smoked meat (pork, turkey and brisket) sandwiches from a local BBQ place. We ordered eight pounds of meat total, which I thought was way too much and not very much of it was left over! It was good! Family members brought some salads (thanks!) and I had made broccoli salad and a veggie tray. I thought it was easy and good!




Our friends Kylie and Nate brought their twin boys and they were so cute! How sweet is a little sleeping baby?







Cake time!

Michael really liked the sprinkles on the cake. At first he just picked them off one by one ate them-then he really got into it.
The poor boy was sooo tired at the end of his party-I thought he was going to lay down on the floor and take a little snooze. I should have probably known better for scheduling the party during his naptime! However, he went to bed at 5:30 after everyone had left and slept until 7:00 the next morning! He was worn out.





Happy Birthday, Michael!
