Gavin's Southern BBQ Bash!

Since Gavin was almost born in Atlanta, we thought it would be fun to celebrate his first birthday with a Southern BBQ Bash!  Everything had a southern touch - there were red and brown rustic decorations, traditional BBQ food, drinks served out of mason jars, sweet tea, pecan pies, a cowboy boot pinata and a crazy ole lady who came to entertain the kiddos....really she was a bit off her rocker but the kids loved her!

Everyone had a great time celebrating Gavin!  And he seemed perfectly happy all day - he never cried once or had any meltdowns...except when I took the smash cake away at the end.  I swear he would have eaten the whole thing!  All the kids had a blast playing at the park, getting their face painted and whacking away at the pinata....when that thing broke open they were like vultures! 

We're so thankful for everyone who came, especially Christian's family who traveled from the east coast!  It really was a great day.  I have to warn you - I took a TON of pictures.  I got a hold of my friend's camera and went a little overboard.  But all the pictures turned out so nice that I had to post a lot of them.  Enjoy...
