Chance's 1st Birthday!

Over the weekend we celebrated Chance's 1st birthday!  I can't believe that kid is already a year old...unbelievable!  He was absolutely adorable all day long, sporting his bare chest with his red and white polka-dotted tie and teal shorts.

Chelsea did a PHENOMENAL job planning the "Red Wagon" themed birthday party.  She's really starting to get the hang of this creativity thing! :)  Since they take Chance all over Kate Street in his precious Radio Flyer red wagon, it only made sense to make that the theme of his first birthday!

A little advertising session here:  Need a cake?? Mimi's Confections is the real deal!  Jamesa Jones is absolutely incredible.  Not only are the cakes freaking adorable, but they taste AH-mazing as well!

Lulu and Poppa hooked Chance (and his buddy Grey!) up with a sweet sandbox/water box that the boys just loved!

Ryan and Wendy gave him a new Radio Flyer to stroll around on!

Chance loved all of his gifts, but his attention span didn't last long with the plethora of toys Chelsea kept opening up!  

He did, however, find time to enjoy his new big-wheeled ride once Uncle Ryan finished putting it together (with a little help from Chance's friend, Gage and Aunt Kim)!

 That face!!!

Jamesa made Chance his own little birthday cake, which we were all waiting in extreme anticipation for him to smash his face into, but... I guess the little guy isn't quite the chocoholic his mom and Aunt Jen are.  That being said, he seemed to enjoy handful after handful of sugar!

 And apparently Chance's mama was enjoying the sugar as well...

 Beautiful family photo!

It was a perfect day.  Without realizing it, Chelsea planned the party on Mother's Day, but what better way to celebrate all of the moms in our lives than to celebrate baby Chance with his own mom, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers!?  Thanking God every day for all of our blessings!

Here are just a few more pics from the party!

 Doesn't get much more precious than this...

 and this!

 Hey Maw Maw, share that bun with me!

 Chance and his later-in-life girlfriend Jensen!  I mean, look at her staring and smiling at him already! :)

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate my precious nephew.  Chelsea and Michael are so blessed and that baby boy is so very loved!
