We celebrated Jaxson's 1st Birthday, in July.
(Where did the past year go?! My baby is REALLY one?!)
In honor of his summer birthday, I decided an All-Star Baseball Bash would be suitable for his special celebration.
Friends & family came over to the house to celebrate Jaxson's rookie year!
I put together a concession stand filled with: Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Popcorn, Soft Pretzels, Cotton Candy & of course, Cracker 'Jax'
We also served up an array of salads & our most favorite, cheesy potatoes!
For dessert Mama & Grammie made cupcakes & Apple Pie a la mode. I also set up an Ice Cream Sundae bar, which was a fan favorite!
Everyone wore their favorite baseball t-shirt or jersey.
I made baseball tees for the family that had 'Team Jax' across the front &
our name and age across the back. Jaxson's shirt said 'Birthday Allstar' across the front with the MLB logo.
The cake I made special for the birthday boy,
he cracks me up, he definitely doesn't like to get his hands messy!
He was spoiled with monster trucks, tool sets, sports equipment, clothes, shoes & even a new big boy car-seat.
I had my eye set on this truck since the day I found out I was having a boy. My dad helped me put it together the night before and I had it hid in the garage. After he was done opening his presents I rolled it into the living room to surprise him. His face melted my heart. He hopped right in & the rest was history. He enjoyed being pushed around by everyone & playing with his cuzzies.
This picture is priceless. These 3 men will always be there to guide you in the right direction and be great role models in your life. They are the strongest men, I know, & the greatest of all.
We sure missed Great Grandma Ledbetter on this day. I know she was looking down on us & wishing she could be there to hold you, contribute her yummy food and be apart of your special day. We are lucky to have her as an angel above us but I must admit, I selfishly wanted her there.
It was a perfect day & definitely the ultimate 1st birthday bash for my little guy!
I am still in shock that he is O-N-E.
I have been blessed with more than I ever would have imagined in this past year.
He has opened my eyes to things I never would have discovered without him.
He is my best little buddy & the brightest part of my every day.
I look forward to many more birthdays with my most handsome, son.
Jaxson Reese Johnson, I love you.
With that said..
birthday boy partied too hard & was out by the end of it.
What a great ROOKIE year we had.
