McCoy's 1st Birthday Party!

Yesterday we had McCoy's 1st birthday party! It was a safari theme and we had lots of animals "hanging around" (stuffed and blown-up). We all had a great time, especially McCoy! There was probably 35-40 people there and several of McCoy's friends were able to come. We served pork tenderloin on rolls, bacon cheese canapes, cheese dip, spinach dip, chicken fingers, vegetables, fruit, and cheese. McCoy's favorite things were eating his cake and playing with his friends in his ball pit and on his Mickey car! He got some of the cutest gifts! It was definitely a day to remember!!

His fabulous cake!




The food table...YUMMY!



All his presents and his birthday banner!



Even his stuffed animals were celebrating!

His proud parents!

"Get that cake over here!"

Taking a break!

Cissy, Mommy, and Gigi...party's over!

Still on a sugar high at 9:00!!

About the sugar high...McCoy ate about 3/4's of his smash cake. He was having such a good time eating it, I hated to take it away, but finally had to because I was scared that he would get sick!! Well, apparently I should've taken it away sooner, because he went to bed at 9:30 and woke up at 4:00 am, ready for playtime! Lucky for Mommy and Daddy, Gigi and Pop had the monitor!!! So, Kirk and I heard him around 5:30 and got up to help out. We all ended up playing until he was ready for a nap at 7:00!! And we all took one!!! So we're now officially on sugar detox! But he had a blast and that's all that matters!

McCoy's party sounds a lot like Andrew's party. Also the safari theme- it's just perfect for one year old boys. We experienced the same sugar high, because Andrew too ate almost his entire smash cake. Glad to know that you took McCoy's cake away, because I had to do the same and felt kind of guilty since it was his birthday!

Everything is perfect!!!! I love the cake (is it Rick's?) and all that food sounds DELICIOUS!
Love how you even matched your outfit to the party (how are you so skinny after having a baby - please help me in 3 months). ha!
McCoy is such a loved little boy!

Rachel,
Those pictures were all sooo cute. Such a cute party for a cute little boy, or big boy! Funny story, we were at Rick's for a weekly Saturday morning ritual and were watching them make cakes and we watched the lady make McCoy's! I figured it had to be his because I saw on your blog the other day that it was his birthday. She was amazing - Ava looks forward to watching the ladies decorate the cakes every week - and LOVED the animal cake. So cute - I know it was such a special day for all of yall!

Rachel,

You should be a party planner!! What a cute cake!! Looks like McCoy had a great time - can you believe he is a year old now? WOW! I am still in disbelief that Cyler is a month old now? Time really has flown by!
