I love first birthday parties. The excitement. The anticipation of 'what will he think of the cake?'. And the cute little babies all playing around one another. As for planning, the slate is blank and, really, the kid doesn't care. So this momma gets to do what she wants. And that I did.
Ellis' birthday falls on Superbowl weekend so I naturally chose football as the theme.

Lots of friends came dressed up for the festivities!

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us...both near and far. And a special shout-out goes to those of you who 'sported' your team gear (especially those Broncos fans - you know who you are Poston family)! I also want to thank Marisa with Marisa Cakes for doing yet another amazing job on the cake, cupcakes, and invitations. Her treats taste even better than they look...my current favorite...strawberry shortcake. Another thank you to Chickabug who designed the favor stickers, door sign, 'concession stand' buffet labels, and 'Happy Birthday' banner. Heather is wonderful to work with so if you are in need, check out her Etsy shop here. And thank you to Janessa, my favorite amateur (but could be professional) photographer who captured Ellis' first experience with sugar so that I was able to just sit back and laugh.
And last but not least, thank you to my husband and dad who spent countless time taking my directions to "hang this balloon there" or "put this football over here"...you were such a big help!
It was a wonderful day...
