Ledger's First Birthday - The Party

This weekend, we had Ledger's FIRST birthday party!!  We limited the guest list to our parents and sisters to try not to overwhelm the kid... but I think it was probably a little overwhelming anyways.  We served a taco bar (in honor of Ledger's Cinco de Mayo birthday) and a yellow hypoallergenic birthday cake with applesauce icing.  We really loved having our family together.  We are so truly blessed to have a group of wonderful people who love our son so much.  It's easier to SHOW instead of TELL about the party... so here is the photo biopic:

Ledger was not sure about wearing this hat.

This firetruck was the first present he opened and he LOVED it.

Ledger loves to rip the packages open!

The party blowers were a favorite!

This picture was taken from Ledger's view.  No wonder he was a little overwhelmed!

  1. Oh that poor baby, He looks frightened! Lol I loved the picture from his viewpoint. Im so glad he has so many family members close by to know and love. That is a big PRO for being close to home. Thanks for sharing. The video was great. Wish we could be there sooooo much. Now, don't forget to blog on mommy. It was your day today too. :)
    Love you!
