It was a hit! Our sweet little boy had a blast.
He woke up from his nap as the first guests arrived. He was a little clingy at first, wanting only Mommy. He warmed up and went to Grammy and D-dad willingly, though he was still feeling shy at times. But by the end of the night, he was running around and smiling and squawking at everyone!
We had a ton of food: 6 feet of sandwich (invented by the Earl of Sandwich - perfect for Remington Earl's party), strawberries, watermelon, grapes, apples, chocolate dip, and many different kinds of chips and dips. We had water and pink lemonade (turned orange with food coloring to be more "manly") to drink. Remington enjoyed his meal of sandwich, watermelon, and Pirate's Booty.
He also enjoyed his first cupcake!
He ate the whole thing :)
Remington's birthday cake was in the shape of a 1 with his name on it and a crown on top. Each cupcake was decorated with a crown, the letter R, or the number 1. I also had a few plain cupcakes for those wishing for no icing. Southern and Remington each had one of those. Remington's had a big "1" candle that we helped him blow out after singing "Happy Birthday".
The goodie bags for the kids included a Capri Sun flavored water, a package of carrot crisps, and a rubber ducky (a king, queen, knight, dragon, horse, or fairy godmother).
Another big hit of the day was the jumpy castle in the backyard. The kids all had fun on it. I was a little wary of having Remington in with the bigger kids, so his godfather George took him inside.
I think they both enjoyed themselves :)
