Chance's First Birthday

I apologize for the delay in my posts! This darn 2012 is hard to keep up with!


Can you believe Chance is 1 year old!
That's right ladies and gentleman...my little man is 365 days old and I still don't have everything figured out. At least I had family around on Chance's birthday to help with all of the details and to celebrate the special day.
What do you think of our spread?  I wanted to make sure it was birthday themed and not Christmas! Having a birthday the day after Christmas you have to be careful not to blend the two...

  

My sister is the queen at parties and decorations.  I was so glad that she was there because she was able to make Chance this amazing little cupcake birthday cake. She is so talented! I thought it was perfect. 

Lindsay also made white chocolate covered strawberries and pretzel sticks...delish!

Anyone that was worried that Chance would be slighted for gifts because his birthday is 12/26 was very wrong!  Chance was spoiled beyond belief.  

Watching Chance play with his cousins will never get old.  

We were lucky to have the party be with both of our immediate families.  

Hi, baby Kennedy!

Chance and my dad playing all around the kitchen in the Mickey car.

Max and Brad

Brunch in the kitchen

Addison is ready for cake too!

The progression of the birthday cake...

at first Chance was not exactly thrilled about being put in his high chair

but then everyone in the room started singing "Happy Birthday" to him and he started to look around and realize that everyone was happy and this was all for him

 Checking out the cake and testing out if he is really allowed to just dig in..

 starting to like this whole birthday thing

 ohhh...frosting is yummy!

 really yummy

 trying to share with me

 making sure it is still okay to eat this gigantic cake

 Apparently, Max and I can't find the camera but Chance is all smiles!

 finally getting dirty

and...he's full!

What a lucky boy!

Thanks to both of our families for taking the time to be there with us on Chance's first birthday.  You are all so special to us!
