Beau's First Birthday Party!

Time flies when you're having fun, and we've flown through Beau's first year in record time. Beau's first birthday party was Saturday with friends and family helping us celebrating our amazing Big Beau! He's just the cutest thing ever!

Nana made us the cutest "Wanted" poster for Beau's western themed party.
The birthday banner was too cute as well.

I tried to think of all western themed foods to serve, then added in a few of our faves too! Smores on a Stick, Fire-Roasted Salsa, Sausage Wagonwheels, Chuckwagon Cinnaminis, and Moo-Cupcakes. (I added queso later because no party is complete without queso!) I also had Cow Tails, which we all decided is the WORST candy EVER! I bought out the supply at CVS pharmacy, and I might advise them to not carry it ever again.

Beau and I checked out the food table, and he was bummed it wasn't time for a cupcake yet.

Daddy and Beau greeted our guests, and Beau showed everyone how cool the balloons were.

Lincoln helped Beau blow out his candle, then Beau dove into his cupcake. Like his brother, he wasn't a fan of the icing but loved the cake. Who's kids are these? Seriously, the icing is the best part! Stein's made the cutest cow-print cupcakes that were so yummy!

Beau enjoyed his birthday gifts, and Linc was happy to help him with the unwrapping part!

Linc was so excited about the gifts, he decided to become one! What's in this big Happy Birthday gift bag?

Beau's Best/Worst Nightmare gift ever . . . it's Lincoln! Linc was very nice to give Beau a xylophone for his gift.

After popping out of a gift bag, Beau got a birthday squeeze from the best big brother in the world!

I got a few interesting questions from Linc after the party, regarding the Beau birthday status.

Linc: Mommy, Beau's birthday party day over?

Mommy: Yes, Beau's birthday party is over.

Linc: So the Beau's birthday toys are not Beau's anymore. They can be mine?

Mommy: No, sweetie. The toys are still for Beau, but he's really nice and will share the toys with you.

Linc: Ok, but I don't want him to play with them, ok?

We had a wonderful party with our family and friends who love Beau so much. Beau decided on the morning of his party that he would just walk! He has walked EVERYWHERE since Saturday morning. I think I can credit Bubbles for the inspiration for Beau's walking revelation because he brought a bag of Scooby snacks (dog bone shaped graham crackers) that Beau was completely obsessed with. He would walk anywhere to get a Scooby snack! It was a super fun party for our super great Beau.
