So Bubbie's birthday party was 2 weeks ago and I'm just getting around to putting up pictures. I do have an excuse though. Between his party and today, Bubbie has started full on walking and finally FINALLY cut his two front teeth! Woot!!
Just to give you an idea of how it's been the past few weeks, here is a picture on Bubbie's actual birthday. It was a rough day.Back to the party...it was a lot of fun. We reserved a covered picnic area at one of the gazillion parks here and basically just had a bbq. We invited mostly family and a few friends. There was a big playground for the older kids to play on and everyone else just kind of hung out and ate. Good times. So, without further ado - here are some pictures from Bubbie's first birthday party. :)
I made this t-shirt, thank you very much. He absolutely loved the pinwheel from my brother and his family. Isn't this picture great? A friend of mine took it. I love it!
Bubbie wasn't feeling the smash cupcake. He kind of fell apart when everyone sang to him.
Then he kind of got into it, but didn't make nearly as big of a mess as I thought he would.I do have a pretty funny story about having his party at the park. So one of my nieces is a very friendly little 5 year old. She makes friends very easily and made of friend with one of the girls playing on the playground. I'm going to say this girl was around 8.
So, I'm sitting talking with some of our guests when this random little girl comes up and starts getting a drink out of our cooler. So I say to my niece, "Um, who's this?" "Oh, my friend," she says. I think to myself, alright, we have plenty of drinks. No harm done. Then my niece asks this little girl if she wants a hot dog or burger. Again, I'm like, okay...we have plenty of food, no big deal. So the little girl gets a hot dog, no bun, per request. Whatever. I really didn't have the heart to tell my niece that her new little friend couldn't share with us.
Well, next thing you know the girls are all looking at the cake. So I shoo them away telling them that it's not cake time yet. I'm glad we got a cake at Costco and had the plastic wrap still on it.
So then the little party crasher looks at me and says, "Well, I need my piece now because we're going to be leaving soon." Excuse me?? You NEED your cake NOW??? I don't even know who the heck you are! And YOUR cake, um that's Bubbie's cake and you aren't even a guest at this party!
I told them no and thought that was it. Well my mom took my nieces to use the bathroom and this little girl followed them and proceeded to tell my mom the same thing about needing her cake.
Needless to say, little girl didn't get any cake. I guess her grandma was "watching" her and didn't seem to care that she crashed our party. Klassy. I think that little girl has a future career as a wedding crasher.
