Daniel's First Birthday

I've been a little behind on blogging lately (sorry!) but these pictures are from Daniel's (my nephew) first birthday party. I can't believe its been a year already! I found out I was pregnant just 3 days before he was born. This was such an answer to prayer because my sister was due about the same time I would have been due with our first baby. So being pregnant helped to distract me from what could have been. Anyway, I couldn't believe how one little haircut changed Daniel from a baby to a little boy! He was more than adorable and had a fun time on his big day. :)

See what I mean?

My sister Stephanie did a GREAT job on Daniel's cake. A little firetruck! :) Egg free of course, because Daniel is allergic to eggs

Everyone's cake :)

Daniel enjoyed opening about 2 of his presents and then he was done...ready for cake!!

Andrew was determined to get in that pool!

Daniel barely made it through the "Happy Birthday" singing before he had his hands in that cake!

first taste...mmmm!!!
completely unprovoked...he did this on his own!!

Andrew wanted to see what all the fuss was about...that IS good cake!"Whoa..."
What a mess!!
Finally! Andrew was allowed to get in the pool...that was only 78 degrees!! BRRR!!
It was a great weekend with the family. I just wish we lived closer so we could have fun times like this other than just at birthdays and holidays. :( Happy First Birthday, Daniel!!
