monkey see monkey do

My first birthday party was a blast!

We managed to fit 26 people in our small house...i could not believe all of the people that showed up for "the big party"!

Thanks to grandma b for making this birthday bib and hat for me! I wasn't sure about it at first and then i think i eventually forgot that it was even on my head! Everyone sang "happy birthday" while the 1 candle was lit.

Cheese!

I wouldn't cooperate for the picture and wear my hat so mom decided to wear it instead!

My friend Ryder came to celebrate! We had a great time playing together with my new blocks.

I even tried stealing his pacifier out of his mouth a time or two.

Thanks for coming Ryder!

Opening all the gifts was a blast.

I got so many wonderful toys to keep me busy for quite a while.

Grandma julie found yet another wonderful hat for me!

Go Cyclones!

I am so glad grandpa Lyle could make the trip. He had surgery on his leg 3 months ago and is still walking with a walker...just like me! Him and grandma millie bought me these sweet overalls! I am now ready for the next thrushing bee...

The birthday cake.

My own birthday cake!

I was unsure at first...

but loved it the more i ate.

The frosting was amazing...pure sugar. What more can one ask for?

I had so much fun at my party and want to thank everyone who came! Those who drove from Minnesota, Storm Lake, Algona, West Liberty, Eagle Grove...thank you so much!!

Well i better get ready...we are leaving soon for the ISU/UNI basketball game up in Ames tonight! I will have to bundle up and wear my isu hat as it is really cold here today.
