Jonah's 1st Birthday Party

The decorations turned out better than I imagined
 The goody table. Presents and party favor bags for the kiddos..
 Birthday boy chair
 There were animals everywhere! Monkeys hanging from chandeliers..
 Even Marty the Moose got in on the action
 Doobie the deer came over too. He didn't want to miss the party
 A closeup of the goody table, along with Jonah's fall picture.
 The food table, without the food.
 Mr. Birthday himself. You can tell he LOVED his birthday hat..

 The cake was amazing!  I was so pleased with how it turned out.

 Jonah and his cousins Eve, Aspen and Kylie
 He had the best time playing under the table..
 Then it was cake time..almost
 Birthday hat on, now we're ready to go
 Justin, teaching Jonah how to eat icing
 He wasn't quite sure what to do with his hands
So we showed him
by pushing his hands into it

 He really preferred to just push it around on the tray

 After cake, we did presents. I thought after all that sugar he would be totally into opening his gifts..but he wasn't. He was very tired and spent the next 15 minutes resting on my shoulder while I opened all his presents.
 He did look at some of them..he liked his bath toys!
 He was so sleepy.
 He passed out right after presents

 Once he woke, we gave him his first taste of chocolate
 He loved it! He ate all of it and then spent the next half hour squealing and climbing on everything. Total sugar high
 We tried the birthday hat again but he said he wanted more chocolate instead

 He had a great birthday! All of our family was there to celebrate which was the best part.


Jonah sends his love and thanks to everyone who made his birthday so special. We love you!
