Happy Birthday to you!

We celebrated the last of the 1st birthdays around here. Doesn't that just sound sad? It's actually a relief around here, as we aren't big birthday party throwers. Our tradition is to go DO something special, either as a family, or with the birthday child. Then we do a cake and a few presents at home.

For Doorbusters birthday, we had a little party at our house. At Pirate party! Argggg! Now, our family and friends have grown and a little party involved 25 people or so. I originally had a list of 60, but that was entirely too crazy!

Doorbuster picked out the invitations. I was leaning for a sports themed party, but when I held up the invites to him, he picked. It was really cute! I'm sure he just loved the colors.

We made things easier by doing a baked potato bar, so we didn't have to stand around the grill the entire party. We wanted to have time to visit with our guests, and cuddle the birthday boy.

Best part about doing a first birthday party at home? Throwing the baby in the tub afterward!
