Tonight we had Jack's first birthday party. His actual birthday isn't until the 26th but with Ryan's schedule and Thanksgiving we decided to have it a little early.Ryan and I got him this little bear chair quite a while ago- as seen here- we've had it in the closet for so long I don't think he ever remembered seeing it. He loved it and sat on it for a long time.
Ryan's parents went in with us to get him this little push car- I was so excited about it and I think he liked it too ;)
The MEN!
The WOMEN!
This was my attempt at a castle cake. It did not turn out how I had thought, but I guess it's ok. Jack doesn't care what it looks like.
He was mesmerized by the candles and kept trying to touch them! I had to hold his hands away. Earlier in the day I tried teaching him to blow our the candles, he didn't get it. All of the kids blew them out for him. Maybe we'll get in figured out by his real birthday.
We had quite the turn out! These are all of our wonderful friends!
Time to eat the cake! Jack was much more interested in the ice cream cone on the top. He was like Ella- hardly touched the cake.
PRESENTS.
He hadn't ever opened a present before. I think that he knew he wanted to see what was inside, but didn't really know how to get it open- so he used his teeth. Hey, it works on opening his food containers.
He started getting the hang of it. Ella, of course, had to be the helpful big sister. Maybe too helpful.
Holy Cow, we have some really awesome friends. They gave Jack such wonderful things. We are so lucky! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! He loved everything!
Jack had such a great birthday party! Thank you to everyone who was able to come! We had a GREAT time! Seriously, we have the best friends ever! Thanks guys!
