The party

We had a really nice day on the 19th.
We invited some good friends and the Crowes, of course for a little celebration for Efton's first birthday.
I was trying to just keep it really simple...
But I am happy with how it all turned out.


And of course, I had to try my hand at another fondant cake... They may not be great but I have a lot of fun making them! :D
 I forgot to cover the cake round...oops!


I made the banner... I think it turned out pretty cute.

Kenny thought a pinata would be fun, so we had one, and I think it was a hit!  We ended up with around 15 or so kids along with their parents.
Unfortunately I forgot to get pics of ANY of the other kids...oops. I am horrible at taking pictures on special occasions.
At least I got one (blurry) one of the birthday boy. Don't you love the look on their faces?! lol


Kenny has a goal to have one of our kids blow out their first birthday candle. So far he has taught them to "blow" quite well... just not well enough to blow out a flame. Either way I think its way cute.

This is Efto's blowing face. haha

And this is one of my FAVORITE faces Efton makes. It is usually followed by an "Oh!"


Digging in! Yummy!

Oh yeah!


"Mom... really...you can stop now."


Thank you to all our friends and family for coming and helping us celebrate his day! It was so great!
