Luke's Party pics - details!!

so it's pretty late, almost midnight my time. i wanted to give a little blip about how amazing the party was, how hubs and i (along with our birthday boy) enjoyed celebrating Luke's 1st birthday with our friends and family... but i'm just so tired (violin anyone?!). so long story short (that pretty much circles around how much fun was had by all) with exception of a few minor hiccups, it was all so PERFECT!! of course i wish i could've cloned myself and/or hired a pro photog (wanted to actually hire erin tukua but she's on maternity leave, boo), i have no complaints (besides my nasty, sweaty, matted hair! ugh! i hate how my hair gets all gnarly when i'm sweating/running around (which is exactly what i did for 6 hours straight!). it was kind of surreal to see that after 3-hours of partying with family and friends my 2-month long project pretty much was thrashed and then trashed! i really zipped through snapping photos so yeah, i was pretty disappointed with the end result and missed a few details, but overall i was able to capture the essence and really, at the end of the day, that's all that matters (to me anyway, haha).

so here's part 1...

we rented a hot dog rotisserie and nacho machine (forgot to take a pic of the nacho machine, maybe because there was hoards of people in front of it at all times, lol, what a HIT!) to go with the baseball theme, everyone seemed to love the hot dogs and nachos!

    Thanks guys.

    Tripps - we rented a room at a local park. It was huge with a private kitchen and private patio area. It was awesome! We totally overestimated how large the space was and couldve used more decorations but eh, who's keeping track ;)

    Ok mama, you did an AWESOME job. Your whole theme is so creative, and you really nailed it. Your little Luke is cuter than ever. I know what you mean about taking quick shots, but they look great!
