Happy Birthday Chapman!

















Saturday was Chapman's 1st birthday, & he had such a fun & busy day to celebrate! It all started with the Penuel tradition of waking the birthday boy wearing crazy hats! He got to wear a hat & open one present in bed :)

































Next came a birthday doughnut breakfast...yummy!!

















Chapman was lucky because he was able to have his party on his actual birthday! We had a "ball-themed" party, including a ball pit, basketball, soccer & football. I had so much fun decorating the yard for his guests!

















































The food was all "ball-shaped", including cheeseballs, melon balls, grapes, cherry sours, & some fun "kid-friendly" party mix.

















Thanks to sweet Amy Hulme for the precious cake & cupcakes...aren't they the cutest?

















Someone was still snoozing when his guests started to arrive, but he quickly woke up & put on his birthday t-shirt from EmTanner designs!

















The guests had fun playing basketball, soccer, football, & of course, the ball pit. I think the birthday boy spent most of the time in there.
















































































Sweet friends...

















Time for cupcakes & singing!!

































Finally, Chapman got to open some fun presents & have a cook-out with the family.

















My little one-year old was tuckered out, so he went right to sleep after his fun-filled day.

We love you sweet Chapman!!
