Since it's November, for the menu we decided on a soup and chili bar with a pumpkin cake and apple pies. My mom was a HUGE help getting all this ready...thank you Mom! I used the apple pie filling I canned this fall with some Pillsbury crust. I made Luke's cake with some four inch pans I found on Amazon. They are pretty cute and perfect to make a first birthday cake. The cake stand I found was also from Amazon and is sweet, but not too frilly like most 8 inch cake stands. Look for a post about the cake in the coming week or two.
With some help from some great friends and family, we also were able to have a hay rack ride and pumpkin painting for the kiddos. Thanks Kara, Todd, Gary, and Diane! It was a beautiful fall afternoon, absolutely perfect to spend some time outside (thank goodness!).
Thanks to everyone who made the trip to celebrate with us, especially those that travelled a long way! Kevin, Luke I are blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives. Luke loves you...and so do we!
