Tyler's BIG birthday

We celebrated Tyler's birthday on Saturday the 8th so that we could have the party with all our friends from Atlanta. We had a really good turn out with about 35 people there. Tyler brought in family from all around, Granny and Grandad, Aunt Angel and cousin Megan, Aunt Faye and cousin Liz, and Papa (Nana wanted to be there so badly but was staying home to care for a family member who needs 24 hour care) The party was a baseball theme since Tyler's favorite toy is his plastic bat. We sent out invatations that looked just like tickets to get into a baseball game. We set up the house with lots of red and white balloons and streamers, and Tyler was dressed in his red t-shirt with a big 1 on the front. There was a concession stand for the food, the kids all were given play money and had to pay for whatever food they wanted. The concession stand was stocked with cracker jacks, big soft pretzels, hot dogs, chips and baby ruth bars. We had a baseball pinata set up and Tyler got to give the first couple of hits. Tyler had his own baseball smash cake, which he enjoyed VERY much. The big cake for everyone else was chocolate with fresh strawberries in the middle, decorated with a baseball field. We handed out party favors in cardboard popcorn boxes filled with baseball stickers, soft baseball, baby ruth bars, baseball bubbles, and bubble gum inside a small baseball bat. Tyler had so much fun, and so much sugar that day, he never really went down for a nap. It was a great party.
