Charlie's 1st Birthday party

We had a family birthday party to celebrate Charlie's 1st birthday! It meant so much to us to have all of our family there. All of our siblings and their spouses, Sam, Lily, and James and both sets of grandparents (including Grandma and Grandpa S via Skype!) We, of course, had to make it a ball party!

Bakerella's recipe for cake balls- thanks to Cat who stayed up until 1 am making these with me

all the food we served was round to compliment the ball theme- meatballs, rolls, grapes, apples, oranges,
cheese ball and crackers

Thanks everyone for coming and for the thoughtful gifts (lots of balls and new toys- Charlie was in heaven). A special thanks to Cat for helping with the decor and food and Chelsea who brought homemade lemonade and hand sewed Charlie his very own birthday banner!
