The Party!

We had Maverick's First Birthday Party today, on St. Patrick's Day.  We had green as the theme and it was a beautiful day for a party.  We had the house spic and span and the only reason people came inside was to get food or use the potty.  That's okay though....I loved having it outside!  Here's Daddy with the Birthday boy before all the guests arrived.  

Maverick was in a pretty good mood throughout his party even with not much of a nap beforehand.  With his new found crawling freedom, the crib is a fun place to explore at nap time.  We even managed to get in a nice family picture before the chaos started.  

All the kiddos enjoyed an early dinner and sat at a few tables outside.  Here are our boys with The Namey Girls enjoying their ham sandwiches, fruit, veggies, cheese and crackers.  We appreciate all the family and friends that came over to help us celebrate this special day.  It wouldn't be the same without all of you!

Maverick enjoyed his first taste of sugar throughly!

He dug right into his smash cake and was the only one of my boys that truly required a bath afterwards!  Later on, I took off the crown and he decided to wear some of the green icing in his hair.  He even managed to get some all over Brighton and in his hair too.  

We all had a wonderful time and can't believe how fast this first year has gone by.  I'm so excited to see what the next year in Maverick's life will bring.  Many changes ahead, that's for sure!
