Liam's first birthday party was so much fun! We originally decided not to have a party. But, after some thought we decided that our little man would only have one first birthday, so we decided to go for it! And I am so glad we did! The theme was "Winter One-derland" and it was so easy. All of my Christmas decor this year was blue, white and silver, so I carried it over into the birthday decor. Here is a picture of the centerpiece I made for the table. I just took tree branches, broke them into smaller pieces, stuck them into a styrofoam brick and painted it all silver. I hung a picture from each month of Liam's first year on the branches. I think it turned out so cute!!!
For lunch we served chili, cheesy potato soup, pigs in a blanket and cheese and crackers...all wintery foods. After lunch it was time to open gifts. Liam was not excited about everyone watching him, and he was SO ready for a nap.
You can tell how tired he was in this picture. Poor guy was not even a little bit interested in opening his gifts.
And then it was time for the long awaited gift, the Dancing Brobee. Liam loves Yo Gabba Gabba, so when we saw this on Black Friday for half price, we had to get it. We used it the weekend before Liam's party during our family pics. It was the only thing that would get him to smile for the camera!
Our happy, little family right before cake time!

Ready to eat some cake....
He wasn't too sure about it at first.
It didn't take long for him to decide that he liked the cake.
He eventually decided he loved the cake.
My favorite picture from the day.....
After eating the cake, Liam suddenly had enough energy to play for a couple of hours. Haha! Talk about a sugar rush!!! Liam and Owie loved playing with Brobee!
Thank you to everyone who made the trip to celebrate with us! We had so much fun and Liam is a busy little boy playing with all of his new toys!!!
