The BIG O-N-E Party....

START YOUR ENGINES....AND SHIFT INTO PARTY FUN!!!!

For Braxon's 1st Birthday we did a RACE CAR theme! I was glad it worked out to have Devin's family and my family together to celebrate.

Picture before the party began....

The table where the kids got to decorate their own RACE CAR...

The table about the BIRTHDAY BOY...we went and took pictures of him with RACE CARS!

I thought it would be fun to make him a TIRE CAKE to go along with the theme...


2 hours later once the cake was finally done baking and 3 containers of black dye later to get the frosting BLACK...we had a TIRE CAKE.

The cake table...

The cousins decorating their cars for the RACE!

This was serious business!

The RACE TRACK...

The kids getting ready to RACE!!!

They were all winners and received medals!!!

Then we played toss the bean bag in the RACE CAR!!!

They all had a fun trying to make it in the holes...

The adults even got in on this game!

Braxon checking out his presents...

Opening his presents....

Getting ready to blow out his candle...

Waiting patiently for his cake and ice cream...

Enjoying his cake...

Loving every piece of it

Note to the wise...black frosting isn't maybe the best 1st birthday color of frosting, but hey it made a good tire!

The birthday boy excited about all his new stuff...Thank you everyone for the presents and for coming and celebrating Braxon's 1st Birthday!

I can't believe he is already 1. This last year has been a complete joy with Braxon in our lives. He brings so much happiness and fun into our family. We love him so much and are so thankful for him in our lives!
