Though Sam has a few more days before he is officially one year old (Oh my god, it’s been a whole year?!), we had his First Birthday Party this past Saturday. Having it the week before helps push it just that much further from his sister’s party; plus, it’s a three-day weekend!
I will be the first to admit that I went a bit overboard with the whole party getup, but I had a lot of fun doing it. I’ve been perusing a party blog over the past year and every time a new post would come up I would think, “Hey, I can do that,” so once it was party time in our own house I had to put my money where my mouth was. Besides, I don’t want Sam to be The Second Child.
So . . . Robots.
Sam loved the Space Balls — he ate a whole cone!
He also got a ton of awesome gifts. The girls didn’t get too jealous about Sam getting all the gifts because they were outside running through a sprinkler.
After presents, Sam made good work of his cake.
After all that cake, Sam didn’t move much and was content to sit back and watch Lydia and Elizabeth run around like they’ve had sugar or something.
All in all, Sam greatly enjoyed his day, and I learned I can successfully bake a tiered cake. Sweet!
