Benjamin Turns One!

Benjamin David McDaniels,

How this year flew by! You are One!

We celebrated his birthday with a intimate Farm theme birthday party. Everything was pretty low key and it turned out great! David's mom and Stepdad were a huge help with providing the food for the day. His stepdad Ken, barbecued the chicken and hot dogs and made the most amazing beans. My mom brought over homemade potato salad.

Seriously the cutest cake ever! Thank you Gabe!

Suzie and I hot glued the burlap and fabric onto mason jars to match the decor. 

yum

I sent a DM to our friends and family a month before and knew it would be a little too late notice but was excited to have an intimate celebration with our close friends and family.

Decorated our little back yard patio.

I didn't get a chance to photograph every detail as I usually do, I got busy but here are some pictures of his big day.

I handmade the banners with cut up fabric and thrifted plaid shirts and then just tied them onto a rope and hung it on the fence and his high chair.

Pretty proud of how this prop turned out!

Ben with my cousin. He loves her! ;)

My niece and her cute baby Gigi! 

Why can't he ever just take a normal photo?!

My mom holding ben, and my brother next to her. And my dad kneeling lol

The "Welcome to Ben's Farm " sign was made by my Bestie and I absolutely loved how it turned out!

The cakes I bought from Ralph's grocery store and my high school Best Friend Gabriel decorated them! I hadn't seen him in yearssss and having him make these for my son was so special. I'm happy I still have these strong connections with my friends from years ago!

My Dad and my brother came together and I was so happy to have gotten to spend that time with them!

Ben seemed to really enjoy his party! As I might have shared, Ben is super attached to me so I wasn't sure how he would be through out the day with me being busy and what not but he really did good! He had fun! Annnnndddd he really enjoyed his smash cake!

My dad with grandson #3!

We also celebrated David's 29th birthday! Him opening up a couple of gifts!

I love this picture 

Of course our neighbor girl stopped by! Hi pumpkin!

Little Friends!

I'm so grateful for our sweet family and friends that took time out of their day to celebrate our sweet little guy. The day was beautiful. The weather was perfect ( Thank goodness it didn't rain again that day!) and I'm just really happy with the turn out. Thank you to everyone who joined us and even those who joined in spirit ;)
