A perfect party for our perfect (to us anyway) one year old!

After months of 100+ degree weather, it cooled down a bit and just in time for Hudson's first birthday party. We only go big for one birthday (so far) and it's the first because your baby only turns one once, right? It was an easy decision to have a golf-themed birthday party for Hudson. Living on the golf course means many nights in the golf cart and hitting balls so a golf club quickly became Hudson's favorite toy. My friend, Laura, came and took pictures for us so I wouldn't have to walk around with a camera the whole time and I could enjoy the party. So here are LOTS of pictures to enjoy!


Party favor table: Waterbottles with a golf ball necklace, balloon, jellybeans, and a ring pop inside.



Coming up with the food was my favorite part of planning the party:










Hudson's "smash" cake!








We took monthly pictures of Hudson in the same chair and then made a banner for everyone to see how he had grown:

Birthday Boy!!!

Lexi, Story, and Hadley decided playing with babydolls was more fun:

Many golf games for the kids to play:

















































Time for cake!
I had to help him out a little bit at first...

...but he caught on fairly quickly.


And by the picture of everybody's faces you can tell this is about the time that he figured it out!











Ready to get cleaned up!










The most chaotic present opening I have ever experienced. All the kids opened the present they brought.













Such a fabulous party and even better than I expected. Thank you to all of our friends and family that helped us celebrate our baby turning ONE!
