EDITED 2011:::::::I just did a FAQ on this party...view that post HERE!
To write an entire recap of the birthday party at this point seems a little useless because really, I don't remember that much....lol. I will include tons of pictures (which I know is what you really want) and some commentary. Enjoy!
{shirts we had made for all of the kids...with name and number on the back!}
{where I got the shirts from - answered HERE}

{Bakerella's awesome cupcake burgers and sugar cookie fries}
{balloons hanging from the ceiling}
{centerpieces - various baseball treats}
{my homemade balloon arch that was the biggest pain in the ass - it was windy and it kept breaking, but it was cute while it lasted!}
{how I did the arch - HERE}
{eddie loves his Grandpa Woo}
{painfully adorable newlyweds with their favorite nephew}
{i love, love, love this picture!}
{Grandpa Frank with his grand-puppies and grandson}
{so sweet}
{getting a lesson on his ATV}
{and he was off!! he rides this around the neighborhood now....lol}
{now, even tho the cupcake burgers came out cute...this, not so much. I stopped caring and figured Eddie was just going to smash it...my ugly baseball cake!}
{after this he got some frosting stuck on his lip, which he wasn't so happy about. After some bites of cake, he was all better :) }
{he wouldn't share....but I tried!}
{all of the adorable kiddos wearing their shirts! too cute...}
And there you have it! Planning and executing the party really made me miss my previous banquet/party planning job...Frank and I have been talking here and there about doing something like that again, but starting with friends and family first. So, friends...family...if you have a party that needs some help, let me know! I am really feeling the need to be creative and this is a pretty fun outlet. Oh! I almost forgot what started it all.....the invitations! We sent one of these for every person in the household and got lots of great feedback! I loved them and still have one on my fridge :)
{how I did the invites - HERE}
All in all, I am very proud of this party. It could have been a little more organize towards the end, but we fell behind after I slept a little longer than anticipated, which I blame my birthday dinner the night before....heehee. Thank you to everyone that helped make this day run smoothly - you know who you are and you know that I love all of you!! And just one more time....happy birthday Eddie!
