Birthday Party - Year One

Well, Grant's First Birthday party was this past weekend. I chose a bug theme for his party... everything was in the shape of some sort of bug, right down to the cupcakes! We had a great time and was so glad that our family and Beau and Erica could come to help us celebrate. We have learned our lesson though... don't try throwing a birthday party the weekend of Easter. Most people can't come! :)
Bug Cupcakes (idea stolen from Martha Stewart). There were so many GREAT pictures of these two boys playing together. In the interest of saving time, I have only posted one. I am so glad that they get to spend time together and have each other to play with. John, Elijah and Bibby (on our new swing).
Family Photo Op.
We sat and ate under the big tree (apparently, it's a Tallow) in the back yard. The weather held off just long enough for us to enjoy dinner and dessert.
Before. Happy Birthday to you!!!
After. He really liked his bug cupcake! Yummm!
Grant loved every gift he got! From clothes to swim suits to every kind of truck imaginable, he loved them all! Great big thank you to everyone who thought of our boy!
The song for this firetruck gets stuck in my head everyday. It's very catchy. And Grant loves to push the buttons.
Gary and I bought him a sand box for the backyard. It's a winner. Oma and Grandpa bought him the sand toys. We will be spending a lot of time outside this summer!
