So we've covered the decorations, food, cupcakes, allergy free cooking and desserts, infectious diseases... but we HAVEN'T covered the FUN of the party.
We set up a couple tables in our dining room for chowing down on tacos. Hi Maria, Mandy and Aunt Erin!
My cousin Christina on the far left and her future husband Josh on the far right were able to come up from Carmel. Uncle Adam and Great Aunt Debbie are in the middle. Everyone is enjoying the Mexican feast! :-)
My friend Lindsey and her daughter Elise came. Elise hung out in Tommy's high chair while Tommy was napping for the first HOUR of his party. Way to be fashionably late, Tommy T!
Travis, Drew, Aunt Cait, Gram and Pop all hanging out in the kitchen.
Susan, Nora and Wyatt played with toys.
Drew and Meredith had to leave early so we went ahead and opened their gift. He got the cutest little sweaters and a pair of jeans.
He looks like he loves them! Kids love clothes, right?? :) I know PARENTS love clothes! They're my favorite!
He found the chair we got him nestled away with all the gifts. Yay! Something to climb on!
Aww, Tommy and Uncle Adam!
Isabel loved the cupcakes!
So did Max!!
In fact he made such a blue mess, Ashley had to clean him up.
Lots of kids and lots of toys... it's playtime!
Lindsey and Elise enjoy the show.
Tommy with his squeaking red tennies (Thanks Aunt Meeghan!) plays along while his drooling begins. It's not too bad at this point.
"Hey Mom! Can we open presents now??"
It was finally time to open gifts. Do you think Tommy is surrounded by enough gifts?? It's like a gift fort! I actually had to dig through the gifts to get to him.
It is WAY more fun to bang on the gift boxes than it is to actually open them.
It's also more fun to wave the gift boxes too!
You have to pay attention when opening gifts. If you're not careful, you'll end up opening the same sweaters you opened earlier! Whoops.
Tommy got LOTS of cool stuff. He got a super Grover!
He got several riding toys. He got a bouncy cow.
Hello Mr. Bouncy Cow!
He got a Wheelie Bull. Interesting that the kid who is allergic to milk got a cow and bull. :)
He also got CAT Rider truck. Look at his shirt now. His drool spot grew a bit, ya think?
All cooled off in a Grover short-sleeve, he got back on that truck! BEEP BEEP!
Time for a reading break in the Thomas chair!
Hey who's been eating the Oreo mouths off the cupcakes? As it turns out, it was Grandpa and Pop! They were both eating the Grover mouths!! I should've bought more Oreos!
There were a lot of people and a lot of gifts to open. Everyone crowded in the living to watch.
We were really crowded in there.
They were sitting everywhere! Tommy is a popular guy!!
Once the party was over and things settled down, we had some family time.
I think picture is cool. Tommy loved going UP with Grandpa especially when he could see himself!

So Tommy, are you one or six?? ;-)
Happy First Birthday Tommy! Hope you had a wonderful time!! We had so much fun at your birthday party. Here's to many many more!!
