Sock Monkey Birthday

We threw Barrett a Sock Monkey Party for his FIRST Birthday Party!  So hard to believe that our little man is ONE!  Thanks to Pinterest and some creative friends, our house looked so precious!  Gamma and Aunt Lindsey helped with all the last minute preparations.  So glad they were here!

Decorations and Cake!

Barrett was a little overwhelmed because there were so many people in his house! So we didn't capture too many pictures where he looks excited ... until the sugar rush kicked in!  He was a rockstar with his very first cake!  Instead of explaining how the party went, I'm going to let the pictures do the talking! (Or typing!)

 Getting the Hang Of It

All Messy ... But TOTALLY Worth It!

By the time we got back inside after cleaning Barrett off, Nana and all the Wilson girls had the cake mess from the kitchen cleaned up.  And Uncle Brandon had attacked the high chair with a hose.  (That was a Barrett's birthday gift to Mommy!)

We had a great time at Barrett's party.  Thank you so much to everyone who took time out of their weekends to come and celebrate with us.  We were surrounded by friends and family who have been a part of Barrett's life ever since we found out we were pregnant with him.  And to celebrate his first birthday with those who prayed for him before he was born, and supported and encouraged us as parents through his first year, was truly the icing on OUR cake!
