Birthday Fun For a Boy Turning One!

Well littleman turned one on May 20th and we celebrated with a BBQ on May 24th. The day turned out beautifully. All week the weather had been cold and rainy. Early in the day on Saturday Casey and I got up early to clear out the carport and assemble our new BBQ. We knew if the weather stayed bad, that is where the party would be held...or at least the cooking part. Around 11am the sky cleared and it began to warm up. By time people started showing up, it was a beautiful Spring day.

Here's Casey with his step-dad Roy

This is my MIL Margie with George. That's another one of her son's, Robert in the background

George getting his first taste of orange soda...yum!

Present time, amazingly he wasn't very interested in the whole ordeal.

He got some neat things....check the couch and legos. He also got tons of clothes, some of which will fit him next summer!

CAKE TIME!!!

I made 2 cakes and some cupcakes, all lemon with buttercream frosting. My decorating skills are minimal, but it was fun. My niece Lexie was excited because she got to put the candy pieces on the big cake and the spinkles on the cupcakes. I wanted to do a grasshopper head for the "smash" cake, but decided a silly face was easier and just as cute and edible.

Singing happy birthday

He just loved it!

Licking his hand

He got it all over the place, and actually managed to eat a little cake with his frosting
