Caleb Asher Grant is "O-Fish-Ally" One

On Saturday, October 27 we celebrated Caleb's first birthday party with a few close friends.  It was a wonderful day and we are so thankful for everyone who attended in person and via FaceTime :)

A special thank you to my friend Kelley for capturing the special day on camera!!!  Below are a few of my favorite pictures and then a slide show of the day!

 YUMMM!

Big sister loves cake NOW, she did not like it all that much at HER first birthday 1.5 years ago!

CAKE!

I love this picture, his big eyes looking at the BIG cupcake!

It was a GREAT day!

Slideshow:

I share this about the party, because this was a relatively inexpensive party; the prices are for what we used at the party because some foods I already had on hand.  We had lots of leftovers and many of the supplies will be used for other events.  The total was $102 bucks; not bad to feed 6 adults, 4 kids and send doggie bags home!
