Jack's First Birthday Party

On August 3rd, Jack turned one year old!

We had a party for him in our new home last weekend.  It was a shark themed, because Jack was born during the Discovery Channel's Shark Week (and the blue theme worked!)  :)

I hung a picture from each month's photoshoot on the mantel

Shark fin and school of fish cupcakes

Lots of candy including shark gummies

A lot of our family was able to come up to Wisconsin for the party.  Jack even had relatives from Ohio who flew in for the weekend!  James's grandma, Aunt Patty, her boyfriend Randy, and her son Matthew were able to make it.  They hadn't had the chance to meet Jack yet, so we were so excited to host them!  James also took them on a little tour of Neenah to show them our cute town, the lake, and my new clinic.

And then there was Jack's first cake!  (Not much made it in his mouth!  Most of it ended up smashed in his highchair)  :)

After a quick bath, Jack opened his presents.  We were so excited to share his first birthday with our family who was able to make it!
