First Birthday Party!

Saturday was Owen's birthday party. We invited a lot of family and friends and had a TON of delicious food. Owen won't remember it, but John and I will remember the fun we had and everyone's generosity. My parents really went overboard making it a special day for us. We had so much fun and hope everyone else did too!


John grilling the Kalbi beef, one of our family favorites
A little sampling

The cupcake tower

John specifically wanted Owen to have his own cake he could smash up
Cupcakes for everyone else. The Owen and 1's were written in white chocolate

We decorated O cookies for favors
The wall of all Owen's month pictures
Close up, what a difference a few months makes!

My mom made a California Roll casserole instead of the traditional roll. Decorated with scrambled egg "flowers"
Pad Thai, Asian chicken wings, Kalbi, miso salmon, fruit salad, Vietnamese chicken salad. Plus there was bah minh sandwiches, mango curry shrimp in lettuce cups and potstickers
Dan, Monica, Lindsay, Tiffany and John. Lindsay and Tiffany are both pregnant, about a month apart. It will be exciting when Owen has little friends to play with!
My friend from work, Kelsey and her son Dezrian. Dez and Owen are about 6 weeks apart. Kelsey and I were just a few of the pregnant girls in my department last year!
Guests hanging out
Kyle and his Auntie Em
Mandy and Donovan were there too!
Monica getting down to business!
Callista and Kimberly also enjoyed the food! We lucked out and got a sunny day for the party.
We got him a shirt that said Baby's First Birthday
Elmo was a big hit!
A pop up tent that was impossible to get back to a circle.
Cute Summer clothes!
Checking out Elmo and his new guitar with Priscilla
Getting ready for some cake!
Started with dainty handfuls...
And went in for a mouthful!
Really getting into it now!
Happy First Birthday Owen!
