Someone had his first birthday!

So given how slow I appear to have become at getting important event photos out, I thought I'd better get these out before I head out on our next adventure.

We had R's first birthday party on Sunday (so that was yesterday, right?). He had the usual friends over and we had cake and prezzies.

A friend's sister was kind enough to make a cake and decorate it for R. We did an Elmo party...why Elmo? 'Cause I got a deal on first birthday napkins at the dollar store and they had Elmo on them. Also, we used to have a talking Elmo we got from a garage sale when T was R's age but he has ceased to function but worked well as decor. And besides who doesn't love Elmo?

Here are a select few shots, enjoy!

The Elmo cake!



Aunt A wasn't sure there was going to be enough cake so she made back up cupcakes!

Getting set...



Making a wish...



All done!



The obligatory sticking of one's finger in the icing...



Tastes like....RED!



Not quite sure what all the hoopla is about these box things is...but Big Sister is certainly into them!



A truck!
