Birthday Bash!!!

On Saturday, we celebrated your FIRST birthday! It was very lovely...mostly just family were invited, with the exception of our dearest neighbor Paul and the Waller Clan, (Byron, Suzanne and Ms Penny...(more about "her" later!!!)...

We asked Aunt Gigi and Uncle Victor to stop by and pick up a few balloons on their way over...and in their usual wonderful style, they BOUGHT a helium tank with 30 balloons!...(Only a handful were used!)...CRAZYNESS!!! They always do special things like that!

You greeted everyone and hung out for a while and then went off to nap for a good hour and a half...we all took the opportunity to feast on hamburgers and Ceasar salad...the weather was a bit cool/cloudy, but that didn't stop Santi and Ben from enjoying the pool...they were the only brave ones!

Ms. Penny, in her usual manner, tried to steal the goods, as documented here:

She helped, (OK...she pretty muched opened all the presents!)...which was great, as you were a bit unsure as to what to do. Ms. Penny being a pro at First Birthdays, brought in the experience and saavy needed to get the job done...

The cake was chocolate on chocolate with chocolate...an old family recipe from Grandma Hersheys...

Santi helped you blow out the candle...

You were a bit unsure of the massive, (did I say MASSIVE) slice your Aunt Gigi served you...(See, she does EVERYTHING BIG!!!)...but you played and I think actually ate some, although you thought the candle was a bit tastier!

I hope you had a great day piglet! We love you!!!
