Pics and review of Jack's 1st Birthday Party
I can't believe that after 5 months of planning it's over.
I woke up feeling so dizzy and it basically lasted the entire day - so I don't feel like I really got to enjoy the day like I should have.  I'm still sick today - and so is Jack - which is why it's taken me so long to download my pics.
First off - the biggest shout out goes to Smiley (Deb) - I had her and another girl waitress - and they did an AMAZING, OUTSTANDING job! I could not have done it without them.
The yard was PACKED out. The end total was around 115 adults and about 55 kids. It was complete and total chaos - but it seems like everyone had a good time.
Jack has enough toys to last him till his 18th birthday - and I think we need to buy another house just to store them.
Everyone loved the favors - thanks again Val.
I was recommended my cake lady from another LIF'er (Thank you soooo much Dawn for recommending her!) -- The cake was GORGEOUS and everything I thought it would be. Although - my fault - we displayed it on my dining room table for all to see throughout the day - and I had my CAC on --- I thought it would have kept it cool - but it started to tilt alittle. It wasn't a big deal - and everyone said it was delicious (and of course I didn't get to take a bite)
Thank you to my amazing friends and family they are always WAYYYYY too generous! Some friends - who are also LIFer's - Tanaolic, LBG30, Shopaholic, Fireislandlove, Frankiesmom, KRWM - you guys did wayyyyy too much - and Jack is so lucky to have you all in his life (as am I!) I look forward to the many more years ahead of us and making more memories!! Love you all!
Now - here are a TON of pics. If I knew how to write captions I would!  Image Attachment(s):

He is! He wouldn't put his hands in the cake -- we had to feed it to him! HA! He's my kid alright!

When I tell you - I had TONS of food that we packed up for people to take home - and threw out so much more. It was a sin. I gave my griller about 5 pounds of chicken and steak to take home. We did all of the cooking ourselves - and it wasn't even really that hard to be honest!
Oh - and you are too sweet with the good looks comment

Re: Pics and review of Jack's 1st Birthday Party
Diana, I just want to say you throw a great party!! Everything was amazing, the food, the favors, the Baskin & Robbins ice cream!!!!! You didnt miss a thing..... spray bottles to cool ourselves (who thinks of these things?). You even had a celebrity chef.....Screech from head of the class  Jack looked adorable as always Frankie had a blast & cant wait to play with all of Jack's new toys. And yes I had tears in my eyes from the b-day song I still cant believe our babies are 1. Thanks for an amazing year together...I couldnt have done it without you.

Re: Pics and review of Jack's 1st Birthday Party
Aw that last picture of you kissing almost made me cry. What a wonderful year it's been for you, James and Jack.  We were so glad to be there to celebrate it with you! You put so much thought and effort into it, I'm sorry you didn't get to enjoy it as much as you would have liked.
I have to say to Joenick - wow! I've seen pictures of your work online, but in person there is so much detail that goes into each favor, I don't know where you find the time and for your talent!!!!
Happy 1st Birthday Jack!

Great Party! Ryan had a blast in the bouncer. Jack was so cute eating his cake. I am sorry to hear that he is not feeling well and that you aren't either.
