Happy 1st Birthday, Maverick!!

I cannot believe that it was already time to celebrate Maverick's first birthday. This year has gone so fast. Too fast. It is crazy to think that one year ago we were in the hospital waiting anxiously for our little blessing to enter this world. We had no idea what we were in for. It has been the craziest, happiest, most stressful, rewarding, and silliest adventure of my life. I am so blessed to be Maverick's mommy.

We celebrated Maverick's birthday at Boondocks Farms in Knightstown. It is a pumpkin patch that is super awesome. They have a corn maze, playground, hayrides, food, haunted woods, and lots more. Because our house is small I knew that we were going to have to have the party at another location. This was the perfect place. There was plenty of room for the kids to play and the owners are very accomodating.

We had a perfect day for the celebration. It was a beautiful fall day. It was a little windy, but the temperature was about 60 degrees and perfect. We had so many friends and family come to wish Maverick a happy birthday! If he only knew how loved he is :)

Invitation!

 I am so proud of this wreath! It took me many, many hours and around 450 ballons!!!

I also made his hat :)

(Yes Dana, I made it from scratch. I did not just glue on the one.)

 Maverick's pumpkin smash cake, pumpkin cupcakes, and birthday cake fudge!

 I baked and Daddy decorated his smash cake!

 We asked for no presents. It's safe to say that no one listens to me!
