Saturday was Cole's first birthday party! We had it at Liberty Ridge Farms which is surprisingly not far from our house. Rob and I had lunch there last year, the day before we went into the hospital for Cole's birth, so it was the perfect choice. I remember saying that I wanted to have his party there - and the day turned out to be all that I imagined! Earlier this week I was really nervous because the forecast said 55 and 80% chance of rain - YUCK! However, there were only gray skies in the morning and then at the start of the party, the sun broke out and the temperature was in the 70's - amazing! After the sad events of this week, I feel that God was really trying to cheer us up and help us to move on and focus on what is really important and special in our lives - our beautiful son Cole! We really are so blessed!
We had 21 adults and 8 kids under 2 years old! Everyone had a great time picking pumpkins, petting the animals and watching the pig races! There really are so many fun things to do there! They also have a huge corn maze - the stalks are 13 feet high after all the rain we have had this year - so neat!
Cole loved his special cupcake - all vanilla, since we found out he is allergic to orange food dye! He dove right in! Everyone else ate the pumpkin shaped cake from the Bread Basket - so yummy! He loved hearing everyone sing to him too! He had a great time with the presents - ripping paper and climbing on the boxes! Thank you everyone for the great gifts! Sarah made Cole a beautiful blanket with pictures of all of his playgroup buddies on it! How thoughtful!!
Amazingly, Cole was in great spirits all day long and even skipped his afternoon nap so he could play with Carter a little longer back at the house! It was such an amazing day, I really could not have asked for more!! Thank you so much to Nani, Auntie Mup and Nana for all your help with everything!! We love you all so much!
I don't know how I can top this party for b-day #2 - I may just have to have it there again, it was so much fun!
