1st Birthday Bash

On Saturday we gathered with our loved ones at a nearby park for Liam's first birthday party.  Grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends joined in the celebration.

Though is was quite hot, it was a lovely day full of laughter and love.

The food was delicious.  My brother-in-law made his famous pulled pork, and we had several yummy salads.  I also tried a new Sangria recipe.  I highly recommend it...although you might not need to make 3 gallons of it like I did!

Liam's cake came from a local bakery.  As you can see, we had a tractor/farm theme. 

And everyone went home with farm animal cookies.

I'm pretty sure Liam knew that he was the guest of honor.  

He was rather taken with his cake.  Up until now, he hasn't really experienced much sugar....I think he's a fan.

All the kids wore the same rosy cheeks.  It was hot!  And there was a lot of playing and cake eating to be done!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.  Thank you family and friends for making this day so very special.
