Brant's first birthday party

This was the inspiration for Brant's first birthday.  Ike got this outfit for his first birthday from his Aunt Iris.  It has made its way through the family.  When I started thinking about Brant's first birthday I thought it would be fun for him to wear this outfit.  I also love nautical themed big boy rooms so we decided to go with that for his big boy room too. 

 Brant is such a people person.  He just comes alive in groups.  His party was no expectation!  He had a blast!  I will let the pictures tell the story.

 All four of us  

 Let the fun begin!

 Not so sure..

 Sharing with the grandparents...

Love my sweet family

 Ike and I ran to the kitchen to shove down a cupcake

 Present time!

 He just ate up being the center of attention

My mamaw!  I just love her!!!

I tried to plan the party so it was directly following nap time.  Well of course that was a big fail.  He ended going to sleep early and getting up early.  Which resulted in this ending to the party!  Oh well.  It's his party and he will cry if wants to!  :)

We are so thankful for all of our family and friends that came to help us celebrate Brant's first year!  I wish I had gotten pictures of everyone.  He is definitely one loved boy!
