LITTLE RED WAGON PARTY

Richter's Little Red Wagon first birthday party was so much fun! As usual I didn't take enough pictures and certainly not enough of the decorations and food. I will say I worked very hard to make it super special and I really think I accomplished just that. The cake and candy table was a big hit with all of the kids. Other than the sweets we served chicken salad, ham biscuits, brie with apple chutney, DH made cheese slaw and I got donut holes. Everything was great!
As guests were arriving and people were eating Richter had a great time playing. We were a little worried we'd have a meltdown at some point during the day seeing that he only had a 30 minute nap before the party. We were wrong, he was so good all day and was his usual "hammy" self.

I couldn't decide how to display his pictures that I took every month sitting beside his dog so this was my last minute decision.
It's cake time!! He wasn't sure what to think at first but he eventually dug in and enjoyed it.






After a quick clean up, we opened gifts. He is one lucky boy. We got all kinds of fun gifts. Our living room has been taken over with baby toys.



"I'm just hanging out, in my wagon, with my cousin. I'm cool like that!"
At the end of the day, after all of the company was gone and the clean up crew (Mommy, Daddy and Auntie Kara) was done, we put our jammies on...AND GOT A SECOND WIND!! He just wasn't quite done playing with his new wagon.
Or with his new toy from Whit and Kate!
Or in the kitchen cabinets. Okay, that's enough. Little munchkin went to bed after this.
So all in all I think the party was a success and Richter and guests had a great time.
