The invitation.
The decorations...
I had a kind of "candy bar" going on where the kids (and adults, although it was mostly the kids :) could scoop candy into their little bags.
Laura made both the cake and the smash cake. Didn't she do an amazing job? I LOVED them both and it helped out so much. It takes hours to make a cake look this cute. 
The Guests:Our family
My Aunt Amy and Uncle Jim came down along with their kids Evan and Emma. My Uncle Ross also came down. It was so nice having so much family there for the party!
Gma and Gpa with their grandkids!
Ryan's brother Chris and mom Katie came down as well for the party! It was also wonderful having them there with us to celebrate.
I didn't have many activities planned for the party, but the kids blew bubbles and threw water balloons outside for awhile.
and helped themselves to candy.
Jackson tried so hard to reach the balloons!
He also got a hug from cousin Emma.
I'd say his favorite thing once again was the cake. I love this picture of Cooper stealing a lick!
After cake I had to give him a quick bath, and then it was on to presents! Jackson got lots of great presents but wasn't interested in much, although the ribbons were fascinating him!
I'd say this was his favorite present. A big stuffed dog we named "Brownie." He LOVES to hug him.

And that's it! He's now one! So hard to believe. He has 9 teeth and is working on at least three more. He signs more and is sometimes signing please. He'll copy some animal sounds and sometimes wave bye bye. He just started taking independent steps by himself! He loves to dance and play with Cooper. He is such a happy boy and is definitely a mama's boy which I of course love! We love our baby Jackson!!!

Jackson - I can't believe you are already one! And taking steps, saying some words, you are just growing up too quickly!! It was such a fun and beautiful party! We had such a great time!
Such a fun and beautiful party for our special boy!!
Looks like a GREAT time! Jessica, can you come decorate for my kids' parties???? Hope Jackson had a great day!
Love the party decorations! You did an amazing job! I wish we could have been there to celebrate with you guys! Maybe you and Laura can come and plan the parties for my kids - you guys do a great job!
WOW - you really outdid yourself, Jess... between the decorations, the darling invites and Laura's cakes - everything looked amazing! Looks like it could be in a magazine!
Oh my gosh...your party looks amazing! I love the polka dot theme and the way you pulled everything together around that theme. You could make extra $$ hiring out your services to plan parties for other people! Awesome job, Jessica. And Laura's cakes were absolutely beautiful. You two make a great team!! But what is also amazing are the PICTURES you captured of the day! Nicely done! Can't believe little Jackson is 1 already...and has more teeth than NOLAN! :)
