Birthday Party

On Saturday, we had a birthday party for Chase at one of our new favorite places, Gantry park, with some of his little buddies and their parents :)  I was really excited and had been planning to do something for him for awhile.  I started out planning to be super creative, all pinterest style.  I had picked out some cute invitations, plates, cups, and napkins... and then caved and got sandwiches from Subway.  

I didn't get all these supplies, but it was from this set.

Chase was helping get everything ready for his party.

And we all headed off to the park.  It's definitely a bit trickier out east.

Decided on the easier route :)

Arranging the Cupcakes and sandwiches for the party.

Then we picked out a nice patch of grass 

Chase was a little moody, but he was much happier after lunch :)

We did try to get some family pictures in... Easier said than done.

Another attempt at some pictures.  Definitely going a little better this time :)

Some more play time.

At least they got a good picture!

 The party was better than I expected.  Just about everyone showed up, and we had a great time laughing, eating, and playing at the park.  Chase was definitely tired after his party, but then once home, he just wanted to play with his new toys.

We're so glad everyone came.  

Happy birthday little man!
