Better Late Then Never

As I've said in earlier posts, things have been a little crazy, and I've not had a lot of time to catch up with the blogging. However, I at least want to get Cole's birthday party pics uploaded in order to document such a momentous occasion! So, as the title says, better late then never!

We had his party the weekend after his birthday - April 17th. It was sports themed, so I asked everyone to wear their favorite team or team colors. The birthday boy got in on the action, too, and he wore the cutest Razorback shirt - specially made just for him! We had the shin-dig in JT's barn, and decorated it in baseballs, footballs, and basketballs. We served traditional sporting event eats - hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, and cracker jacks! We also rented outdoor games, but the rain moved in, and most of the festivities were kept inside.

The cake was from Merritt's bakery and SUPER good! I was convinced I'd ordered too much (a full sheet), but I'm glad we did since not much was left.

I think everyone had a great time, especially the birthday boy! Cole was so exhausted he slept until after 10 the next morning.

Thanks to all our family and friends for making this 1st birthday such a special one!

Cole, Mommy, Julie, and Eli (Eli is 40 days older)!
