Happy 1st Birthday Campbell!

Wow, this post is waaaay overdue and I'm seriously behind on my blogging.  I've yet to post pictures from Christmas.  Bad blogger here.  But life has majorly gotten in the way.  When I posted here that I couldn't wait to see what was in store in 2013, I had no idea just how crazy things were going to get.  We had a couple of pretty low moments - losing our sweet doggie Cash... and then getting robbed while house hunting in Atlanta....  But we've also had some exciting times - Campbell turned 1 and we had a party to celebrate last weekend.  I got promoted January 2nd and have been thrown into new responsibilities and challenges at work.  And today we might be going under contract on a house.  Whew!


We gave Campbell a Radio Flyer red wagon for his birthday and used that as a "theme" for the birthday party.  Really only the cake, party favors, and wagon rides went with the theme.  Everything else was just birthday-ish.

Campbell is such a blessed boy.  ALL of his grandparents drove to Durham to celebrate with him.  Unfortunately I don't have pictures of everyone but thank you so much family for being there.  A very special thanks to my mom for helping me with the food.  I was super swamped with work and couldn't have pulled it off without her.

DeDe and Campbell getting ready for guests to arrive.


A family friend made the smash cake and party favors.  She has a business called Natty Ems.  Cute and delicious too!


I loved the little red wagon cookies.


We kept the food pretty simple and served pimento cheese sandwiches, warm ham and cheese biscuits, PB&J and goldfish (for the kiddos), artichoke dip and cupcakes.


Here we are... proud parents of the birthday boy!  The weather was beautiful and we were able to spread outside on the deck.


Campbell officially LOVES cake.  He was so focused and methodical in eating that cake.  Like father, like son.


Say cheese Grandmommy & Grandaddy... and Campbell's got on his sweater vest just like Grandaddy!


My sweet friend Katie was there to celebrate ... in all her 40th week of pregnancy glory!  Doesn't she look great?!  I'm pretty sure I couldn't fit in any of my clothes at this point last year. :)


And the best picture of the day, by far.  Campbell pulling the ladies around in his new red wagon.  I'm pretty sure this is foreshadowing of our lives in 15 years...












Happy Birthday Campbell!  We love you so much and had such FUN celebrating!

  1. So cute!! I can't believe my pic made it on here! Thanks!! (I'll take all the compliments I can get.) Thinking about the kids riding in the wagon still brings a smile to my face. And... those cookie favors were SO precious and SO delicious. I ate mine AND Brent's. I blame pregnancy. Great job on the party, mama!
