Henry's Birthday Party!

I can't believe how much y'all want to see these pics :)...makes me a happy blogger that y'all care!  Shaun and I have never thrown a party this big before (invited our entire sunday school community) so we really learned a lot in the process, but we had a great time at the party and were very pleased with the turnout for Henry (it meant a lot to us!!).  One of my biggest regrets is the pictures...I tried to take some good ones, but I really didn't have time so I didn't pics of a lot of the cute decorations and especially Henry.  Next time, I will hire a hobby photographer to take pics and video so I can focus on enjoying the party without worrying that I'm missing moments!

The invite! (pics and invite done by the so talented Peepeye Designs--find her on facebook)--scratched my number out

Wreath for front door--my talented friend Claire stayed up making these ducks one night!  thanks c :)

Favors on the entryway table (duck book and bubbles)...there were ducks floating in water and frames with pics of Henry with ducks when he was a little baby.

Food table...bbq, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, chips and cupcakes

Favorite pics from each month...birth to 12 mo

Blowing out the candle...was just about to start sobbing but then...

Henry touched the hot candle and became terrified of his mean rubber ducky cupcake

No traditional smashing of the cake for this little buddy :)

Holding up our one!

And last but definitely not least...the adorable cupcakes made by my super talented friend Jessica
