Chase's 1st Birthday JuNgLe PaRtY!!

We had Chase's 1st Birthday - Jungle style - this past Saturday and it was so much fun! Not that Chase will ever remember it but at least he will have some cute pictures to look back on later in life to see all the friends and family that came to celebrate his 1st year of life! We had a lot of fun planning the big day and had a great time BBQing, enjoying the beautiful weather and catching up with friends. I think that was the most babies we have ever had at Mom & Dad's - there were 7 kids and Chase was the 2nd oldest at just 1 year old! Thanks to everyone to making this such a special & memorable day!
