John William's birthday Party

Last Saturday we had John William's first birthday party.  It was wonderful.  Family came up and we all got together and celebrated him, along with our neighbors.  John William is obsessed with balls, he loves throwing them, chasing them, holding them.. anything!  So his birthday theme was.. balls!

All about John William...

 I decided to print pictures of John William from the past year and just put them all over for decoration

 and use lots of balloons (thanks Eileen!)
