1 is So Much Fun!



Finally I am posting pictures of Liam's 1st Birthday party...better late than never, right?


We were honored to Liam's 1st birthday with several of our good friends here in Portsmouth and their little ones. The kiddos had a great time playing and running around the house and the adults attempted to have some fun while trying to keep the little ones out of trouble.

Here are some pictures of Liam on the big day:
Liam waiting for his cake to arrive!

"Mom why are all these people staring at me?"

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

Mimi trying to show Liam how to eat cake.

"I really don't know what to think about this!"

"Here Mom you try it!"


"Well maybe this icing isn't so bad afterall."

Liam had way more fun playing with his buddies than eating cake!

Here are some details from the party for anyone who is interested. I am sure Rolf would say I went a little overboard but I had so much fun planning all of the details. Your first baby only turns one once, right? Our theme was "1 is so much Fun" and man did we have fun!

We had everyone sign a book for Liam so that we can tell him about all of the special friends that were there to help him celebrate his 1st birthday!

"1" shaped sugar cookies for the party favors.


If you ever hear me say I am going to make cupcakes again remind me of this time and take me directly to the grocery store bakery! In the end they turned out okay but it really did take a lot of work. Thank goodness Mimi was here to save the day!


I hung all of our favorite pictures from the year, one for each month, on a "clothes line" inside. It turned out really cute, if I do say so myself!


Yummy, yummy! We did a lunchtime party and subs really hit the spot.

A special cake just for the birthday boy. It turned out great and tasted awesome. Good thing Liam didn't like it because that meant I got to eat the whole thing!

My favorite from the day!
