My son turned one in July, it was so sad for me! We had his party at a local park. We rented a pavilion where they had a sand volleyball pit and we played washers as well. There were only a handful of other babies at his party, so most things were geared towards the grown-ups. We bbq'd hot dogs, had chips and pasta salad for side dishes, and of course the cake for dessert. We had water, gatorade, and beer for beverages. We had a "Guess How Many Cheerios are in the Jar" game and the winner won a small prize. We also had a piece of posterboard up for guests to write a b-day message to Ben. I handed out birthday-themed rubber duckies for favors. The whole thing lasted maybe 2 hours or so; Ben couldn't handle much more than that!


My advice is to just keep it simple; you'll have many more years to go overboard!

We had a family birthday party while we were vacationing at the beach.

When Emily turned 1 I had a Tinkerbell theme and we had it at the IL's. I invited 14 children, but it was all family members & their kids.
