Saturday was Samuel's 1st Birthday and the day couldn't have been more beautiful. The weather was perfect. The theme was Zoo animals. The message on the cake read "Have a roaring Birthday!" I had forgotton how busy birthday parties for 1year olds can be.... enough said!
We enjoyed sitting outside. This is the Grandparents table. David's Nonnie was able to join us too.
David helped Samuel open the gifts but he got easily distracted by his new toys. Here he enjoys pushing around a truck he got from my parents. It was a hit with everyone. Amelia actually thinks it is her car too and can often be found putting her barbies and little people in it.
Poor Boy!
After gifts we set Samuel up in his chair to eat (smash) the first piece of cake. He did get a free 8inch round cake but i couldn't let him have the whole thing... who wants to waste free chocolate cake. However, he only looked at the piece. He never even touched it! I tried to give him some frosting and still nothing. We all stood there with video and cameras, and still nothing.
Finally after trying to get numerous pictures this was his response.... enough! He went down for a nap and the rest of us enjoyed cake and icecream.
Thanks everyone for coming! We enjoyed your presence and your presents! Samuel is enjoying all his new toys and is looking forward to wearing his stylish new wardrobe.

Fun to see your pictures, too! I can't believe Samuel is one already! Wow, it's been forever since we've seen you. So.....when *are* you gonna get on Facebook?? :)
Janelle - where did you get that cake? It's awesome! I'd love to have a similar one for our son Nolan's first birthday!
I agree with Rachel. Time to join Facebook! "EVERYBODY's doing it!" ;o)
The cake is from Byerly's. It's called zoo fun. I have seen similar designs in other books like at Target, etc. It's around $30 for a 1/4 sheet cake and serves 14-20. We had plenty of leftovers!
I almost have an anti- facebook thing going now.... besides I feel like I'm too busy to keep up both and would become totally obsessed with it. I'll keep considering it! :)
