Lane's 1st Birthday Party

He's cute and sweet and so much fun

Our little Lane is turning one! 

Ride on over to the Birthday Party!

We celebrated Lane's first birthday on Saturday. The theme was Little Red Wagon, so we incorporated lots of wagons and some nostalgic goodies like hot dogs & Frito pie, bottled colas and specialty candies & bubble gum. I first got the idea from my friend/co-worker Cecilia. She helped me design the invitation and she made the cupcake toppers.

I also found a million ideas online, from other blogs and Etsy. Just google "Red Wagon" and you will find 'em. Here's what we came up with...

Lane with his Gigi

This shirt was custom made with Lane's name - found it on Etsy - where else - by The Royal Details!

We took turns pulling the kids (mainly Reese) around the living room in the new wagon. What fun!

I didn't see it, but Uncle Scott even jumped in for a ride when he wasn't pulling Reese around.

Reese enjoyed Lane's gifts as much as he did.

RJ Goodies cupcakes with cute toppers.

Maylee with Grandma and Nita.

Chris, Susanne and Grayson came to celebrate.

Lane loved the balloons as did Reese. She kept asking Maylee to blow up more with the helium tank.

I opened the gifts while the kids played with them.

Lane with Aunt Lauren and Mama Pat.

Gigi got Lane his first hot rod shirt - fits the wagon theme!

 Much like Reese on her first birthday, Lane was not into the cupcake or the kolache for that matter. Aunt Sharon thought Lane needed a Polish kolache on his birthday. ;)

Lane is thinking, "Are we done yet?"

The Happy Birthday banner was made by A Paper Playground on Etsy.

This photo banner, also from Etsy by Beths Banners, held 13 pictures from newborn to 12 months.

Mama Pat got Lane the big red wagon!

Somehow, I came up with the idea to create a "make your own party favor" station. It was a hit! We had saltwater taffy, Twizzlers, Pixy Stix, nostalgic chewing and bubble gum with M&Ms. Found all the fun candy at Candilicious.

In addition to blue and white themed beer (Shiner Blonde Light) we also had bottled Cokes and Dr. Pepper with homemade Cherry-Limeaids and ice tea for Grandma. Yum!

These cookies are from Memorial Bakery. They can take any image and place it on an iced sugar cookie. Delish and too cute!

Pat had this vintage Radio Flyer wagon which was the perfect welcome for our guests.

Reese loves the new wagon! She sat here and watched college football. 

On Sunday we went to Buffalo Grille for breakfast before Jamie and Maylee left town.

After breakfast the kids played with the new toys!

Then we took a walk in the wagon. It was so much fun. The kids are so cute and it's fun to see them enjoy things together. I am loving this age for both of them.
