Pictures from Jack's 1st birthday party. There are many -
mostly because Jack is learning new expressions and I think they are adorable.
They really show his personality, which is awesome.
So this post is very picture heavy...I'll walk you through.
 |
| Mommy and Jack photo before daycare - looks cute right? |
 |
Well this is what he was doing right before the pic. He has re-discovered hair pulling.
Colin caught this gem, while trying to get a smiling picture of Jack. |
 |
| I made a banner out of cardstock and (of course) glitter paper. |
 |
| The eats. Yummy thin crust pizza. |
 |
But... Jack had veggies. The crust was too hard for his 2 teeth.
"What Mom, you're eating pizza and all I get is veggies?" |
 |
Nom nom nom...
"I'm 1 and don't know what I'm missing out on." |
 |
| Excited for cake and presents! |
 |
| Daddy was a big help with opening presents. |
 |
| Look at his expressions in the next few photos. So stinkin' cute! |
 |
| Cheeeese! |
 |
| I love this one it looks like he is giving a thumbs up. |
 |
After presents, it was time for his own cupcake.
We sang Happy Birthday and Colin and I made a wish for Jack and blew out the candle. |
 |
| He was excited but really didn't know what to do. |
 |
| Jack played with the cupcake. |
 |
| And smooshed it everywhere... |
 |
And then he figured it out - you put it in your mouth.
Even after he tried it, he still had more fun playing with it than eating it. I think more ended up on the floor than in his mouth, as we expected. |
 |
The 'other' cake for our guests.
Vanilla with a strawberry creme layer inside.
We had it made at the same place as our wedding cake -
The Cake Artist's Studio. They are great to work with! |
 |
| Cute cake...that went into our tummies. |
 |
After the party was over I could tell Jack was eyeing the balloons.
So we let him play with them and have some fun! So cute! |
After the balloons, Jack got a bath, bottle and birthday (every night) snuggles and I passed out too.
Colin got this cute picture of us that I love.
* also sorry about my talking in the videos - I always talk through them and I don't even notice I do it until I play them back.
