Turning 1!

A couple of days ago, I had my first birthday. A number of exciting things happened that day.

First of all, there were streamers hung in the living room. Also, I started getting "hot-lunch" at school.
When Mom and Dad picked me up from school, my car seat was turned around and there were balloons in the car!!

And best of all, when we got home - we had a party! Mom and Dad were there and some grown-ups that I kind of recognized and my friends Jonah and Nicky came, too.

Here's Jonah and me playing with the ball popper. Here's Nicky - a real party animal. I heard that at the last birthday party he went to, he sat in the cake.





Speaking of cake, here's a tutorial for anyone else out there that might be turning one soon.

First, you take off any hats people try to get you to wear.





Next, they bring you your cake with a candle in it - try to grab it if you can.
Then, everyone sings and looks at you.









Make a wish and blow out the candle.










Now, you get to eat!








Or just smash it up - whatever you want.












Don't let anyone make you eat more than you want.








Most importantly - have a fun time at your party!
