Patrick Turns 1!

My baby turned 1! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I know everyone says that, but it really was just a blink. 

We went with a Mickey theme since we went to Disneyland for Christmas. 

I made these cupcakes I found on Pinterest. So cute!

It was on Memorial Day (like his mama, every once in a while his birthday will be a national holiday, so cool!) so we decided to have a BBQ outside. The weather cooperated nicely. It was gorgeous out. 

Daddy manned the grill. 

There were lots of kids to run around and play with.

Then it was time for cake. 

It did pretty good digging in. He was very meticulous, though. Little bites.

At one point, though, he tried to pick up the entire cake until he realized it was attached to the tray and wasn't going anywhere.

And he had to make sure he got every little last bit of frosting off his fingers.

He got a lot of clothes and fun toys to play with. My kids are so spoiled by everyone. The favorites of the day were a steering wheel from Aunt Kerry and Uncle John and a camera toy from Uncle Tom and Aunt Shelley.

After most of the guests left, some family stayed to continue playing (Grandma and Grandpa Weldon, Shaylin, Olivia, Aunt Kerry, Aunt Jeni, Uncle Adam, Charlotte, and Jerrod all made the trip out to celebrate). The cousins loved all the play time.

There were rousing games of Freeze Tag, 

and Red Light, Green Light.

The party last long into the night (even after the Birthday Boy had gone to bed). 

Thanks everyone for making it such a special day.

Happy 1st Birthday Patrick!!!!
