My first birthday came quicker than mom and dad was ready for. We had a BBQ on the patio with our family. Lot's of people were able to come. It got cold outside quick so we didn't stay out too long, and we were lucky that we didn't wait until the weekend because it snowed that Saturday and knocked powerlines and tree branches down.
Jer cooked hamburgers for everyone with the help of Brody and I made salads and ordered a cake. I ordered the cake from Coldstone and they were able to decorate it with Madagascar animals - Brody loved it, he still has the little animals and he takes them in the bathtub with him everynight. He didn't do a very good job of blowing out the candle though. He did have fun eating his cake and got orange and red frosting all over everything.
Our friends came over with their son and little girl Emerson. Emerson is 5 months younger than Brody and he just loves her. Everytime he sees her he gets so excited and points and waves and wants to give her loves. We went camping with them this summer and have some good pictures of them holding hands and sitting in Brody's little swimming pool.
Brody did a pretty good job of opening his gifts, although I had to help. He was only interested until he got a cool toy and then he wanted to play and not open anymore gifts. He got so many toys he didn't know what to do and he just kept looking around like he was wondering where to start. Jer put together all the toys that evening and the living room had enough boxes and wrapping and toys - it looked like Christmas for 4 kids!! Brody was a big boy and I had him help me the Thank You cards and made sure to send everybody a note. He did a pretty good job writing in the card. It took awhile though because he only wanted to do two a night and then he would get bored. We finally managed to get all of them mailed out though. Brody had a great birthday.
