[Yeah... Blast from the past. Better late than never, right!?]
How do you celebrate a first Birthday, in October?! With football and family, of course! It's really hard to believe that my sweet baby O has been a blessing in our life for a full year. To celebrate our sweet guy, we gathered family for some football and fun at our house.

On the night before his party, my mom and I were searching for football party ideas on Pinterest and we came across a "snack stadium." My mom headed to the store immediately, bought all the snacks, and we assembled it the next morning. It was really the highlight of the party, even if we did throw it all together the night before...

The Final Product: Football Snack Stadium!
The snack stadium was our main Birthday Party snack, but we added football cookies and cupcakes for something sweet.

My older kids decorated a few signs for him, and we set up a few football mascots, but the whole party was really very simple.

At only a year old, there really weren't many party games to play, so we just gathered as a family: The adults watched football, and the kids played for much of the afternoon. It was perfect.
It was a very simple party, but I think everyone still had a great time! I know O really enjoyed being the center of attention for the day.
Happy Birthday O!
