Logan's 1st Birthday Post #2--Birthday Dinner

Both of our families have a tradition of taking out the kids to their favorite restaurant for their birthday.  Since Logan's birthday landed on a Sunday, we decided to go out on Saturday night.  We thought going to Logan's Roadhouse for Logan's first birthday was a cute idea.  We also invited our close friends, Jill and Mike and their two kids to come with us to dinner.  We consider them to be our closest family friends here, and we thought it was fitting to have them come out with us.  Logan loved his food.  He eat so much mac and cheese it was crazy.  And he got his first chocolate milk.  So that was AWESOME.  The servers even came around and announced that at Logan's Roadhouse, Logan was celebrating his 1st Birthday!  Yee-Haw!  Logan was slightly confused at that.  And once again, he was spoiled far too much for his own good by the Study family.  Little stinker.

Logan's 1st Birthday Post #1--Mickey Playgroup

Yes, the post title is a mouthful.  This year, for Logan's 1st birthday, we decided to do an informal playgroup for his birthday celebration with a few of his little friends.  Of course I went overboard with the decorations.  I wanted to do all my own homemade decorations, but I also know my limits, so I just ended up ordering everything online for his party.  Logan and Evan both LOVE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Since Logan was 6-7 months old, he would always light up and start smiling when he saw Mickey, so I have known for a while that we were going to do a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed party.

It was a lot of fun planning everything, and finding the best deals at different websites.  And it was exhausting to plan everything out, but I tend to go overboard, so of course I ended up getting sick after everything was over!  Oh well!  It was well worth it.  Both boys were super excited to see all of the Mickey stuff around the house yesterday morning when they came downstairs. 

The kids loved this Mickey scene that I hung up.
