Carson's Birthday Party!

We went back to Dallas last weekend to celebrate Carson's first birthday with the family! We had such a great time seeing everyone, including my family who hasn't seen Carson since Christmas - you know they were dying to get their hands on him! :)

Trey and Jen offered to host the big birthday bash! Jennifer is by far the most creative person I've ever met - and thank goodness. I needed all the help I could get! We decided to do a Hollywood theme. Since we are currently living in the LA area, it only made sense! Plus, when will we ever be able to pick this birthday theme again! :)

Thanks again Jen for all of your hard work and coordinating! I'm glad you finally got to shower once the party started. ;)

The decorations:

Let's be honest, it wouldn't be a Hodges' party if there wasn't a ton of food to eat!

Trey and Wyatt missed some of the party becuase Wyatt had a baseball game and pictures - what a handsome baseball player he is too! I wish I could get ready like this everyday! :)

 

And now.....Carson digging into his cake! We stripped him down to his diaper. To be honest, I didn't think he would really dig into it but Greg thought he would. Guess daddy was right! He sure loved his cake. I think he got my sweet tooth....oops!

I love this last picture. You can tell the sugar-high has definitely kicked in! Afterwards we gave him a quick bath and then it was time to open his presents. He got so many great gifts!!

I would say his first birthday party was a success!! Happy Birthday Carson!! Love you!
