Ethan's first birthday party was so much fun! We had close family and friends over for a backyard celebration. We had a pirate ship splash table, sprinkler, kiddie pool, and playhouse set up for the toddlers to play in. It was one of the hottest days of the summer, so the lemonade and sweet tea went quickly!
The cupcakes spelled out "Happy Birthday Ethan" and his smash cake was decorated with a whale. Of course my favorite moment was singing "happy birthday" and watching his face as everyone sang. It was at that moment I felt Ethan crossed into the toddler world. He was a little unsure of eating his smash cake, but with a little encouragement he "smashed" and then had a taste!
We said our thank you and goodbye's to friends and family and handed out sidewalk chalk as party favors. We then tucked our worn out one year old into his crib. His eyes were soooo tired, but his body was full of energy from his first sugar rush. I've never seen such a sleepy boy move so much with his eyes closed.
The morning after the party Ethan woke up ready to tackle his birthday gifts from friends and family! It worked out great waiting to open the gifts when he wasn't so busy playing with his friends at the party. He had the best time playing with all the balls, golf clubs, puzzles, blocks, and of course riding in his wagon. What a fun birthday!
