Lawson is #1!

For Lawson's first birthday I decided to go with a football theme.  It seemed fitting for the middle of October.  Everyone is in football mode.  Lawson loves to play catch so I thought it would be a good fit for him too!  The evening went great with a lot of family here to celebrate.  Lawson was a little overwhelmed with all of his new toys and didn't know where to start.  Lucky for him, his brother and cousins were helping to show him how they all worked :)  Thanks for all who came to celebrate our wonderful little boy on his 1st Birthday!  Even though he may not remember it, it is a memory I will have forever.

Grandma and Grandpa Beck came through on Thursday, Lawson's actual birthday, to take everyone out for a birthday dinner.  They were on their way to Mississippi to visit the other Becks

For the meal I went with a tailgate theme.  We had BBQ Boneless wings, Chili (my mom's recipe), and Cheeseburger Sliders for the main course.  For sides there was Corn Dip w/ Chips, Tortilla Rolls Ups, pasta salad, potato salad, and Chex Mix that Jana brought for me.  It was a lot of food that I think everyone overstuffed themselves on.

I had to do the pictures from the year.  I just picked my favorites from each month.  It is crazy how fast a year goes.

I found Lawson's smash cake at Price Chopper for $5 and just added a candle.

We got a cake from Costco.  They did not disappoint!

For Lawson's jersey I really wanted one with a #1 on it since it was for his first birthday.  The only thing I could find though without special order $$$$, was a Missouri Tigers jersey.  I found it at TJ Max for $12.  To fix the Missouri thing, I just covered the tiger with an iron on football and added the name to the back.  I think it turned out really cute!

It took just a bit to figure out the cake thing, but then he dug in and loved it.
