Charlie's 1st Birthday Party


We had a small lunch party for Charlie on Saturday the 25th. Pat had put on a pork butt the night before, so the menu was BBQ, and we had help for all the sides. My Mom made broccoli slaw, my Dad made lemonade, my Aunt Carole brought potato salad (and an additional neutropenic potato salad for Pat), Rachel brought her famous corn souffle, Sarah brought pasta salads, my sister brought oat/jam bars, and I made cupcakes.


Checking out his new wagon from Aunt E

OH yeah, this is my party.  These people are all here for me.  Oh yeah.  Let me just kick back and enjoy it...

Cupcake time! "Smash Cake"





This was one of the first ever sweets he has had and definitely the largest serving.  (Since we switched Charlie to whole milk and were able to introduce dairy, he has since tried ice cream, delish.  Also has recently had some donut and E's birthday cake)








OK I think I'm getting a hang of this.  mmmmm









Time to get cleaned off after eating the whole thing (except for the parts on himself and his tray)

 


Showing off in his diaper for the crowd.

Here are those oat and jam bars that E made.  Recipe is from Pioneer Woman.  Tasty!

Playing cool in Matthew's shades.







Getting into his John Deere tractor from Tom and Shelley.



Rocking his Hawaiian shirt that his Great Aunt Carole and Great Uncle Robert brought him.

Getting to be nap time...better put me down.

2nd wind!

Here was his Winne the Pooh birthday sign. :o)  What a fun and perfect birthday party for our favorite 1 year old.
