  • The party overall was good.  Everything ran smoothly, it was just horribly hot.  Gabriel didn't get his afternoon nap, which is a whole other story I don't care to dive into so he was tired and crabby and hot.  We tried to do his smash cake and he freaked out.  DH tried to put frosting in his mouth and he spit it out Indifferent.  He's truly his father's son.  He got lots of gifts and honestly despite being so tired and crabby he didn't really show it too much.  Unfortunately, I was so busy I didn't get any pictures.  My mom got a few and I'm hoping that other people got some to send to me.  I have some before shots that I'll put in my blog sometime this week (I hope).  It's hard to believe the party is over.  One week he'll be 1 year old.  And for the record I surprisengly did not shed one tear on Saturday.  I think I got all my crying out the week leading up to the party!

  • Aw - well at least he put on a happy face (mostly) for his party.  I can't wait to see pictures!  You had a great weekend for the party!

  • I was thinking of you when the temps kept climbing!  My car said it was 94.

    I'm glad the party turned out good, and I hope that the guests send you lots of pics. 

    Did he wear a special outfit to match the football theme?

    Yes he did :)  I had a shirt made for him.  He'll wear it on his birthday as well, so I'll get some pics of him in it.

  • I didn't realize his party was this weekend! Glad everything turned out good and the weather held out! I am worried about crabbiness at M's party too. Two questions that you might have answered before, 1. what time did you do his party, 2. did you open gifts before or after the smash cake?

  • That is great news! I'm glad it worked out even though it was so hot.

    The party started at 1pm and most people left by 4pm.  We did gifts after the smash cake.  But again, smash cake = fail, so it didn't take a lot of time.  Plus it was at our house so we were going to throw him in the bath real quick after the cake too.  If you aren't going to be at home I would do presents first.

    Ours is 1-4 too and at a park, I am hoping for a good morning nap, and no rain!
