We couldn't decide what to do for Marshall's first birthday since the majority of people that would be coming were adults, so we decided to do a camo themed party so everyone could participate and it turned out awesome!!! The majority of people showed up wearing camo or at least camo colors. For some reason Nick and I decided to tackle serving lunch for 40 something people and thankfully everyone was patient and the food turned out great. We took the easy route with hotdogs, hamburgers, queso, and a variety of chips. I was so stressed out because the weather man said it was supposed to rain all weekend and I just couldn't imagine 40 people in my house. Luckily, it did not rain at all and turned out to be a typical muggy Houston day and people spead out inside and out.
Marshall was all smiles the whole day and had Grammy following him everywhere. He is such a social guy and wanted to see everyone or maybe he wanted everyone to see him! My mom made an aweome camo cake with a giant orange one. She is so talented and I knew if I told her to make a camo cake she would pull it off. We put the whole cake in front of Marshall to sing Happy Birthday and of course he went straight for it not really knowing what it was. After we sang we gave him his own cupcake with lots of green icing and he made a mess of himself and loved it!
I attempted to open presents with Marshall but that did not last long once he got a few things he was interested in. We got lots of awesome gifts and we are so thankful to everyone who came and shared the day with us! Marshall was so tired and exausted but still wired that he only took a 30 min. nap that afternoon. After his nap he was right back up full of energy so we gave him his sand box from Nana and Pa and had a nice evening playing outside. We took so many pictures that there is no way I can post them all, so here are a few, enjoy!
Overall, it was an amazing day but now I understand why we only celebrate the birth of a child once a year, I was exausted!!!
