Whew! Well, the party is over. What a day. I think I was on autopilot for at least half the day, but I have the pictures. William had a blast and everything seemed to go very smoothly. My In-Laws were fabulous with the food and everyone appeared to enjoy themselves. Now I'm looking forward to a quiet family day on the actual birthday. (Although we will allow ourselves the luxury of not starting the day like we did a year ago; we will not be beginning our day at 4:52am.) We are embarking on an Erik and Amy Ingram family tradition. Each child will get to choose what they want to do on their special day, and they will get mom and dad all to themselves. It is so infrequent that a birthday falls on an acceptable party day (ie. a weekend day). So, from now on the royal decree is "It's your day, you time with mom and dad, your choice of activity (with in reason)." But now for some pics of the party.
Rockin' the Froggy theme.
Fun with Great Grandma & Grandpa
Tenative at first then diving in with both hands
First birthday card
Cuz seems to like a few of our presents,
she started stock piling in the back of the room
We made out like a bandit. This is just some of our haul.
Special thanks to all who attended, and to those who were unable to attend, you were missed.
