Daniel's First Birthday Party!

Sunday afternoon we had Daniel's birthday party! It was pretty laid back with a fairly low-key group of construction workers. Daniel loved all of the trucks and tools and he was so cute walking around wearing a little vest (which was too big for him). We played for a while and then opened some presents. He helped open a couple, but lost interest easily. Then, we had CAKE! Local baker, Dorea Johnston (http://tissosweetcakes.blogspot.com/) made the cake and completely exceeded expectations again (she made Etta's Rock Star cake in June)! The cake is so delicious and Daniel agreed completely! That little boy ate his ENTIRE smash cake! I mean, the WHOLE thing! nom nom nom. Then, of course, he had a bath!

I think he had a great first birthday party! Thanks to those of you who came over to help us celebrate!

Etta likes to play this game where she pushes you down so you lay down and then she will come around and grab your head/shoulders and push on you till you sit up. Apparently, she had to grab her Nana by her hair to get her back up. (Also, Daniel took this opportunity to steal Etta's cup)

Happy First Birthday, Buddy! We Love You!
