We threw our first party (of MANY) in our new house for Levi's 1st birthday. Most of the invitees had already come to visit but hopefully they got to see the house a little more finished and we got to see what it really takes to throw a party for all our closest friends and family. Whew, it was a lot of work! :) We were so glad that everyone was able to come and feel so grateful for all the love Levi was shown. It was a hot day so we spent most of the party inside but we had some good food, lots of fun one-year-old presents and yummy cake. What more could you ask for?!

The living room, looking into the dining room.
It helped not having any furniture in these rooms because we were able to seat 30!
Also, Levi's 0-12 month pictures were behind his high chair. |

The Lockridge family.
Thought I should include a belly shot as we so obviously are preparing for #2 as we're so glad to be celebrating #1! |

The boys taking Levi's new wagon for a spin around the yard. It has been a hit!
Thanks Grammy and Grandpa Harden! |

The birthday boy who refused to eat his birthday cake. Seriously. My child who eats EVERYTHING, cried and refused to even taste the yummy mini cake his Mommy and Daddy bought him. We think it was the long day, too much excitement, maybe a snafu with his party hat that bothered him... who knows?! All we know is that we have no footage of our sweet birthday boy tearing into his cake. Oh well. I guess you can't plan everything, right? And plus, now we have a fun story to tell him for the rest of his life. And the video to prove it. Haha, that is real life with a one-year-old!

| It was a great party! |
Thanks again to everyone who came to celebrate with us and thanks to our favorite friends who sent presents from afar. What a lucky and blessed little boy Levi is! (And a special thanks from me to everyone who helped tear down and clean up after the party. This preggo was so blessed to have the house clean, dishes running, pj's on and feet up by 8:30 that night!)

That is hilarious that he wouldn't eat his cake! how unlike him! Great idea to use his shell garland to hand the month by month pics from. Looks like a fun party- wish we could have been there.
I love the picture of Levi tugging at his ears, too cute.
I was just telling Tim we need a wagon.
And you look amazing.
So fun! Wish we could have been there to celebrate! How fast the time has gone!!!
