We celebrated Aaron's 1st birthday a little early since we were in WI to visit. It was great to have my brothers and sister and their significant others there, along with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma. Grandpa and Grandma Kanz (my parents) were the hosts.
Of course, Aaron had to have the traditional birthday donut for breakfast. I think he liked it, just maybe. We might be on our way to table food!
Norah and Maggie were out running errands with Grandma and Jessi, so Dad and Aaron were my buddies while I put together and decorated Aaron's cake. And they were plenty happy to help dispose of the extra frosting left in the piping bag. Sugar high anyone?
We had a farm themed party, so we all dressed the part. I realize I look ridiculous in this picture, but I was willing to sacrifice my dignity since this was the best shot for everyone else. Also, I won't be wearing the purple shirt again for a long time. I didn't realize how unflattering it is. :(
It was clear to me that Aaron recognized the Toy Story characters on this wrapping paper. He kept pointing at them and smiling. He got a TS towel for at Grandma's house too and did the same thing with that. All three Toy Story movies are among Norah's favorites, and I'm sure Aaron's seen them before. He doesn't really know any other characters I don't think.
This is Aaron's farm yard cake. I had a lot of fun making this!
Well, this is about what Aaron thought of the cake. He doesn't really eat table food much yet and wasn't interested in gobbling it up like the girls did at their 1st birthdays.
BUT, he did have fun just smashing it everywhere, including all over his face in in his hair. :) It made us think of how our friends in Fort Wayne encouraged the girls to do this. They'd have been proud of our Sweet Boy!
