Michael's 1st Birthday Georgia Style


Michael's theme for his 1st birthday was Georgia Bulldog Football. Michael really enjoyed his first birthday with family and friends. Some of Joe's family even joined us via web cam. All in attendance were: My mom, dad, Shelby, McKenzie, Laura, Dirk & Hayden & our neighbor Chris- his wife was out of town with their baby boy. Via web cam we had: Nana, Papa, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Matt, cousin Cody, cousin Aubrey, Aunt Sarah, cousin Sydney & cousin Olivia via her crib.

We ate hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken off the grill. We also had fresh salsa & chips, spinach dip, potato salad, watermelon & pineapple. Perfect chocolate cupcakes were also devoured.

Michael received lots of fun new toys, books and a ton of clothes.

Michael really enjoyed his cupcake. I've never seen him so excited to eat something before. Everyone kept saying that he was looking at me like "why haven't you given this to me before?". I also made a fondant football cake which turned out pretty cute. The fondant was not perfect but it helped make the football look real. ;)

We watched the video I had made for Michael, after he had a much needed bath & went to bed.

Thank you for all your sweet comments from Michael's birthday video, it was a lot of work but it was worth it.

Here are the works of my hands for the party... simple decorations, easy table cloth & runner, a (dunce looking) birthday hat, a masterpiece of a cracked fondant football cake & matching shirts for our little family.

You are so cute. Everything looks great and I'm sure it was a lot of fun. How great that your family could be there, in person and via webcam. Michael looks like he really enjoyed that cupcake! What a cutie.

What a great first birthday theme for a little boy that will grow up to be a huge football fan, or maybe he already is. I love a messy baby face.
