Smith's first Par-Tee!

My baby had his first birthday party today!!!  We had a PAR-TEE!

 He wouldn't stop waving at my mom holding the camera.  THIS was the best picture.  And this picture stinks!

 Paisley's first family party!!  We were so happy she made it for the big day.

 We had a long putt contest to win a prize.  You had two attempts to make it down the hallway into the little cup.

 My family prides itself on being very good at golf.  Everyone plays and plays often.  However, my dad's dad (who is 85 years old) never, ever plays...and yet he won the long putt contest :).  Papa is kissing his "trophy".  Congratulations Papa!

 The first present Smith opened was a card (followed by the gift) Papa and Mimi brought him.  After that, all he wanted was his card.  That was his very favorite present.

 And again with his card.

 The card is there in his lap :)

 Ohhh...Lovie and Papa Jay bought him a remote...now, he's excited!

 What?!  I get cake?

 The proud grandparents :)

So, Smith's first party was a success!  I'm so glad we were able to celebrate with my sweet family plus new Paisley.  Why golf?  Well...we live on a golf course and every day, we pick up a ball or two (or three) and stick them in a bucket, so I had a million balls.  Plus, my Granddaddy LOVVVVVVED golf (my Grandmother listed his golf buddies as survivors in his obituary) and since Smith William carries his name, I thought the golf theme was very appropriate.

We love you Smith!  Happy first birthday party!
