Coleman's First Birthday

Well I can't believe my baby is one. We have had so much happen in the past year that it seems like it was the longest year ever, but at the same time, it feels like Coleman has always been part of our family. One thing is for certain, he is growing too fast!! Coleman is such a sweet little baby, and we all love him to pieces.

We had an Atlanta Braves themed birthday party, and Russ was just as excited about all of the party details as I was :)

The invitations:

The birthday boy...

Cade pulled up to the party in style!

Proud dad...

Courtney the cake artisian... (whew, thanks for taking care of that part of it for me girl!)

Grandma and Grandpa were even able to come!

We had hotdogs, peanuts, cracker jacks, and popcorn!

I called the Braves' office and asked them if they would send me pocket schedules for the kids' favor bags...
Party people!

At last, the cake...

A little something to remember such a wonderful day!
