It was a Home Run!!!

After weeks of planning and worrying and just plain driving everyone in my family (including myself) nuts Slade's 1st birthday party was a total success!! Not that there weren't a few mishaps along the way - baseball fell off the cake whily hubby was carrying it from the house to the car and that made us late to the park for setting up and the wind was HORRIFIC but everything came together, looked great and everyone had a great time!

It was a baseball theme'd party - Daddy's been a ball player from babydom all thru college and minor league and will still play on the "old man" league as he calls it when time permits. I just thought red, white and blue and baseball was just a cute theme since Slade is an All-American Boy :)

Slade's party was held at Wallace Field (the park down the street from our house) and we had concessions and hot dogs and cake OH MY!!!! We played wiffle ball and home run derby and ate tons of sno cones and just enjoyed the day, Slade and eachother!

It was so much fun! Even though we had a few hiccups it was all totally worth it to celebrate the first birthday of such a special little boy!!
