1st Birthday!

Today Liam Turned One today! I can't believe it. This past year just went by so fast. We had Liam's First Birthday Party this past Saturday.

The theme for Liam's birthday was Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. We have been getting ready for this party for like months. Lisa has been planning and preparing everything and having me do different little jobs. One of my jobs was to create an invitation for the party. This is the invitation that I designed and created to send out:

One of my other jobs was to create a backdrop scene to take pictures and this is a picture of it with Liam in it as well:
This past Friday Lisa, Liam, and I left Toledo Bend where we were spending Thanksgiving to go back home to get ready for Liam's Birthday Party that we were having that Saturday at Lunch.
We got back in town at about 6:30 and went straight to Sears to pick up Liam's Pictures that he took, so Lisa could finish his scrapbook with those pictures. Then we went home and started getting the house ready for a bunch of people coming for his party. We had to pick up all of your luggage from Disney and Toledo Bend. We had to clean all the bathrooms, sweep and mop all the floors. We couldn't do any of that while Liam is awake because he is into everything and we have to watch him. While Lisa was watching Liam and unpacking and washing clothes I was baking sugar cookies for the party. Once I finished baking the sixty cookies we had to let them cool. We put Liam to bed and started cleaning the house. Then Lisa and I started Icing the cookies with butter cream icing dyed blue. We were up until 2:30 in the morning getting everything ready.

We got up the next morning at 6:15 and started working again. I started by putting the cookies in bags and tying ribbon around the bags to give out as favors. Then I ran by SuperOne to get the balloon filed with air, and to pick up the two cakes. One for Liam and one for everyone else. Pictures of the cakes:

After I got back with the cakes I put up the Scene and put the tables and chairs up under the carport while Lisa cooked Shrimp Soup and Taco Soup. We also had chicken nuggets and macaroni for the kids.

Then everyone started showing up at 11:30. We all ate, and I took everyone's picture with Liam in the scene. Then it was time for Liam to open his presents. He had so much fun. He liked looking at everything that he good. He wanted to play with everything. Here are a few pictures of him opening up some pictures.

After he opened all his presents we sang Happy Birthday and we had cake. We let Liam have his own cake and he thought it was really good. We had a really great day celebrating his birthday, and I still can't believe that he is one today.
