Happy Wednesday! Today I am writing about Riley's First Birthday! Riley celebrated twice this year, because my dad had surgery and was unable to travel down to our home for his birthday party! Instead of posting about the entire weekend I am going to split it up between two days, Saturday and Sunday! Saturday was a party for our neighbors and friends, that we work, with to attend and it was so much fun hosting a party at our home! We grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, and ribs and had chips and other things that go well with a cookout like beans and coleslaw and all that fun stuff! After that we opened gifts and then it was time for cake! I didn't start taking pictures until it was time to open gifts, since I was busy running around hosting!
Scott helped Riley open his gifts this time. I helped Charlotte with her first birthday so I thought it was super special that he helped his little boy on his first birthday!
Riley got the best gifts! We are truly blessed to have such amazing friends around us
Riley loved opening up his presents. He thought they were the coolest
All of the kids kept gathering around playing with the various toys! Scott was like woah and I captured it perfectly! It was the best :)
His cupcake for the day! My mom made both his smash cake and his cake for his birthday for Sunday so we just did a little cupcake for him and we made a cake ourselves for the rest of the guests. Plus I bought a few cupcakes for all of the kids running around, since I know kids love cupcakes so much!
The 12 year old made the cake, and the 16 year old frosted and decorated it! I had lots of errands to run so having them be able to help out and contribute was such a blessing! Plus it was yummy!
Riley has never had cake before, so he was all for it
He wasn't sure at first
Until I smashed his face into it(not very hard though, just a slight push to break up the cake), then he was all in!
He ate the entire cupcake! Everyone was like wait what?!? It was so funny
He definitely got a bath after his cake! After cake the kids just ran around and played while we talked with our friends. Then it was bath time and bed time for the babies! The party was at 3 and our last guest left at 7:30 which is when bed time is so the babies went to bed at the perfect time!
Once the babies were in bed I took pictures of the decorations.
We didn't go quite as crazy this year, just because we had a lot to do and nothing is close to our house so its a chore to go back and forth. It's an hour to the nearest Party City so I made one trip and hoped I didn't forget anything
We were so blessed to be surrounded by people that love our little guy as much as we do! We were so excited to have everyone over and I cannot wait for our next party!
Have a great day! See you back here tomorrow for Part 2 of Riley's first birthday!
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO
