He is One!!!

AJ turned 1!!  To celebrate, we had a huge bash.  We invited all our friends, and most of them were able to come, so we ended up with a big party. We held it outside in a park near our house so all the kids could play at the playground.  We served hamburgers and hot dogs.  Jessica did all the decorations and ordered an awesome cake.  It was so nice that she did all the work so we could just enjoy it, visit with our friends, and show off our one year old.  Here are some photos.

The cakes.

I made AJ's cake - wheat, egg, milk free, but actually tasted pretty good.

AJ ultimately refused the bib.  Fortunately, everything washed out.

"What? This whole thing for me?"

Tentative.

More daring.  With hat.

"This is squishy."

Really into it now. "I can't believe they are letting me do this!"

Completely destroyed now.

"What's that, you say?  I'm supposed to eat it??"  Note the fairly clean face.

"Yum."

AJ and his loot the next morning.

"Sweet! Look at those buttons!"

Just a small sampling of The Boy's big day.  Someday I might get around to posting more.  Or someday I'll get around to finishing posting our Colorado trip.
