1st birthday party!

Jonathan had a great party yesterday! He seemed to have a lot of fun, even though he was a little tired (he wouldn't nap before the party). It was mostly family (My mom and dad, Rachel, Matt, Ron and Linda), and my friend Vanessa came too! It was nice because there was a lot of visiting as well as being there for Jonathan! Nathan helped Jonathan open presents first, and everyone gave him some really cute toys, books and clothes. Then we sang happy birthday to him, and my mom helped him blow out his candle. I had made Jonathan a bear cake (which didn't turn out to be up to my standards, haha. I'm not the best at decorating cakes...) Then we cut the cake... and gave Jonathan his frosted cupcake (the real cake had chocolate and butterscotch chips that I didn't want him to choke on). He LOVED it! And he made a mess, but it wasn't as big of a mess as I thought it would be.

The Bear cake. Not the best cake I've ever seen HAHA!

The table decorated for the party...

Vanessa: You don't look weird... and you weren't crashing it! You were just the only local friend that would come!

Sharlee: I love you too and I can't wait to see you too! Hope it can be soon- when spring hits at least!
