1st Birthday Party

We had Christopher's first birthday party yesterday. Just about everyone expected came. The only ones who weren't able to were Ms. Judy and Mr. Larry. They weren't able to get back from Huntsville in time.

He wasn't in the best of moods. To start things off, he didn't take his usual 3 hour nap...it was only about 1-1/2 hours long. Therefore, he was pretty grumpy by the time everybody showed up at 1:00. Despite being a little fussy, he made it through the whole party. However, he didn't want anything to do with his smash cake. He even cried! Here's a picture of him:



All the other kids were out in the yard playing and he wanted to be out there too!

He got lots of nice gifts. Some of them included: a couple of bath toys, some clothes, Linkadoos and accessories, a toy phone, a toy keychain, a jack-in-the-box, a teddy bear, some balloons, a toy tractor, a Little People Firetruck, some Winnie the Pooh blocks, a gift card to Toys 'R Us, a walk 'n ride toy and a Peek-A-Block Shape Sorter.

Here are a few more pictures from the party:
