Will's Birthday Party!

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved every part of Will's first birthday. I wanted it to be about WILL and keep it simple- good food, good friends and a lot of fun! We had just over 40 of our closest friends and family over to our home for a picnic style birthday lunch. I decided early on to go with a bright color theme (really rainbow theme, but for obvious reasons Zak would not allow me to call it that.) 

This was a super easy balloon wreath that I wish I could leave up year round as it was just so bright and cheerful!

I didn't go overboard on decorating, but did want to give the food table a nice color splash, so I used my 5 rainbow colored nesting bowls from crate and barrel and hung some tissue balls from the ceiling.

The yummy food!

For party favors I decided to go with all different color bouncy balls which were a big hit with the kids!

I have to interject here to say that Will was not too wild about the oh so thick Harris Teeter icing...next year I will resort to making him a slightly less thickly iced birthday cake. After two seconds he wanted that Crisco off his hands!

 

I know the amount of pictures I am posting is obnoxious, but I LOVE this one!

Well... all in all I think he loved every bit of his very first birthday party! Thanks to all of you who gave up your Saturday to spend some quality time with our little family to celebrate that greatest earthly gift I have every received! Happy BIG #1 William Zachary!
