Lincoln's 1st Birthday Party!

Last weekend we celebrated Lincoln's 1st birthday at our house.  We did a circus/carnival theme and I had lots of fun planning the big day.  We had a wide range of ages attend so I tried to make it fun for all.  We started the party with a little silly dress up/photo booth (see blog post below for photos).  We continued on to a few party games....duck pond, tattoos, pin the nose on the clown, spin a prize, ping pong ball toss, bean bag toss, and basketball shoot.  After the games, we had pizza and hot dogs for lunch.  Lincoln then had a wardrobe change for his big cake smash.  :)  He was just the cutest thing as we sang happy birthday and was not afraid to dig into his cake.  While the kids were eating cake, Eric snuck upstairs for a costume change of his own.  The kids loved it when he came down dressed as a clown!  It was a great ending to a great party and I so appreciate my husband for doing just about anything for his boys. Here are some pics from the day....
