The Pollock Press: Catching Up.... Teddy's 1st Birthday Party

Yes it is December... and yes I am just putting up pictures from Teddy's Birthday party which occurred in September. We had such a great time and were so blessed that so many family and friends were here to celebrate the big day with us. Especially Nathan, there was a strong possibility that he was going to be in training for 3 weeks during Teddy's birthday and not get to be here... but thankfully that didn't happen and we were able to celebrate as a whole family!

Thanks to my creative sister and pintrest.... we were able to create a "teddy bear" themed party ( I know how appropriate right!) and some pretty sweet decorations

Teddy Bear Cake - thanks to Aunt Sabrina

I made a banner that I was pretty excited about... idea from pintrest of course. I took a picture from each month of his first year and backed them with card stock then made little felt triangles and strung it all together with ribbon.

My Mom had this sweet banner made for him and brought it with her... thanks Mom!

Here is the Birthday Boy, doing what he does best.... being cute!

We loved being able to have the party here at our house and it was awesome that it was warm enough at the end of September to have a pool party and the kids get to swim!

Teddy really enjoyed his first cake experience.... although maybe not quite as much as all of the spectators! He was interested at first... until he got a big glob of icing behind his ear and he just freaked out! After we cleaned it off of him and gave him a fork... he really went after it!

Petey also enjoyed Teddy's first cake experience!

We really enjoyed having family come into town the week of the party and get to visit for a while. We had: Nate's Mom, Aunt Toni, and Chris, Nate's sister Casey and Jesse and their sweet baby Jace, Nate's brother Kent and his wife Amanda and their two kids Tyler and Owen, my Mom and Sister Sabrina. Then the day of the party we had some friends come over who we have really enjoyed meeting here in AL!

Oh the presents.... did I mention the presents! Teddy got so much stuff for his birthday, I can't possibly imagine him getting any more toys for Christmas!
