Birthday Bash at Bill Vance Park

H-bomb's first birthday party at Bill Vance Park in Brandon was super fun and super HOT! Even though the party was late in the day it was still a sweltering 100 degrees at the park, in the shade! That didn't stop lots of friends from coming from near and far to help celebrate our big girl's special day.

Cara and Mattie Rose being silly
Of course Mommy's BFFs the J's were there
Mickey Mouse has been H-bomb's absolute favorite for about a year now (haha) so we had to do a Mickey theme. Our good friend and EXCELLENT cake maker (among other things) Kelly Ross made an amazing 3 tier cake adorned with Minnie and Mickey heads, red and while polka dots and topped with Mousekateer ears. The smash cake was also Mousekateer ears, with a red Minnie bow!
It was pretty and yummy, too!

Birthday loot and the "mousekatools" for the guests
Hayden is so blessed to have plenty of toys to play with at home. So we decided to do something a little different and ask our friends to bring donations of toys for the patients at Blair Batson Children's Hospital instead of gifts for the birthday girl. I'm proud to say we were able to donate over 150 coloring books, puzzle,s boxes of crayons and other toys as well as socks, hats and personal items to the hospital. We truly have amazing, generous friends!
She did get to open a few presents for herself
She LOVED her pink princess car from MawMaw
Good friends, good eats and good times equals a great birthday party! Thank you so much to all who helped with the party, especially Aunt Lane, and all our friends who made this day so special. We love you all! The birthday girl had a great time...
