First Birthday Party

Last weekend we had Drew's first birthday party. We were so blessed to have our friends and family join us for hamburgers, hot dogs, and, of course, birthday cake. Here are a few of our memories.

We decided to go with a Veggie Tales theme. I was SO happy with the way the cakes turned out - we had Larry the Cucumber as the cake for everyone and Bob the Tomato as Drew's smash cake.

The Webb family - Joey's birthday is in just a couple of weeks, and I saw him eyeing Drew's cake.

Drew got many great gifts. As soon as we opened some books, he wanted to sit down and read them.

Next up: Cake time! We set Drew up in his high chair and let him go to town on his cake. He didn't seem to mind the 20 people standing around watching him. He just dug right in.

The cake was pretty good for the first little while... then Drew started smearing the icing around. Once he got icing in his eyes, he went straight into meltdown mode. I took him straight to the bathtub and scrubbed off the red icing.

Poor Drew was on a sugar high for hours. At about 8 o'clock, the sugar high wore off and he crashed. He's already looking forward to the next time he gets to eat cake.

We all had a great time. Thanks to everyone for coming to join us!
