You've Been Drafted!


ROMAN'S 1ST BIRTHDAY!



We had Roman's 1st Birthday Party Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend!
It was a great party with our closest friends and family!


Below is Roman's adorable "Big AL" cake!


We celebrated Nixon's 4th birthday too with the family!

This was her "Cheerleader Pyramid" Cupcake cake!


We had cookies,

football Krispey-Kreme doughnuts, chips &
dip, pretzels, pizza and capri sun!

I made Roman a birthday banner along with a mix CD of Alabama football music that played over the speakers!


Gue made Roman this adorable birthday hat and bib!

Decorations included a framed invitation and a 2009 National Championship Signed Football (I won it last year at a Fall Festival)

Party Favors!- I found these cute football bags on Ebay and put football whistles, footballs and Crimson necklaces for the girls!

I also made white pompoms out of garbage bags for each of the girls! I was impressed how well they turned out! Much better than the cheap ones you buy at the dollar tree!
Sarah cheered so hard her skirt kept falling down! :)

My favorite thing I made for the party were the houndstooth party hats w/ crimson pompoms!

First Quarter- Play Time!!!


When I arrived to decorate this football toss game was in the gym! It went perfect with our theme!
JohnMark throwing the football!

Craft Table- The girls colored wooden megaphones on a stick and the boys colored wooden football players and football puzzles! This was a big hit!



We brought a small bounce house for the kids to jump in!

The kids played "Pin the Football in the Goal"

Cousins John Mark and Reid fought with the gladiator sticks!
