it's my party!!

We celebrated Owen's 1st Birthday on Saturday!! Our close family and friends joined us at our house for cake and ice cream. WARNING...this may be the longest post ever. There were so many pictures and I had way too many favorites!

We moved most of the furniture out of the living room and replaced it with mats, bolsters, balls, tunnels, a ball pit, and lots of balloons. It was like an inside playground...and all the kids loved it! I think Owen would prefer for our living room to stay like this all the time!

the setup...

The Cake Lady is great! She made a fat free white cake with a low fat cream cheese icing for Owen and made a matching "real" cake for everyone else. Both cakes were delicious!

Is this not the cutest shirt you've ever seen? A girl I work with made it...you can check out more of her stuff here.

Owen enjoyed playing in the tunnel with GiGi and Beema before the party. He really like playing peek-a-boo with it!

Owen loved all the balloons...they might have been his favorite thing about the party!

Lauren, Matt, and Ashley win the award for furthest traveled!! Lauren and Matt came from Jackson, TN and Ashley came all the way from Nashville, TN. We are so lucky to have such great friends...I'm not sure we would have pulled off the party without them.

Owen helped open most of the presents...he just wanted to play with everything he opened, so it took a LONG time to get them all opened.

Love this shirt! It says "Hand over the Binky and no one gets Hurt"...so appropriate!

Norah helped open the presents while Owen took a juice break...

Owen's Rockin' Hawg! Mommy and Daddy worked really hard on this present...and Owen was so excited when he saw it! He's reaction was priceless!

Happy Birthday to you...

Owen's first Kiss...how sweet!

More fun in the ball pit...he was laughing so hard. I wish I had it on video!

The first day of spring brought with it a snow storm that started during Owen's birthday party and ended on Sunday night with a total of 13.5 inches of snow!
