A Great Party

Cade's first year was great and the party was the perfect way to celebrate! We had a party at Lucas' mom and dad's house. Lucas smoked 2 slabs of ribs and a brisket. There was lots of great food and friends.

We had so many friends and family show up to wish our special little man Happy Birthday. We were very lucky because Cade was in a good mood and wasn't real clingy even though there were tons of people there.

Cade got so many new toys and clothes. Some of his outfits are absolutely adorable. Nane got him the cutest little red pirate shirt. And, my best friend "Aunt Courtney" got him a Nike OU warm-up that is precious! I can't wait until he can wear it on Saturday. Cade also got a new tricycle from my aunt and uncle. He's too small for it right now, but he already has his eye on it. He also got a cute little animal choo choo train from my mom. Aaron and Emily got him a train that shoots balls. All the little tikes at the party loved it! There were so many other great presents, in fact too many to mention them all. Trust me they were all great and very much appreciated. Cade is not one of those kids that has too many toys, so all the toys will surely be played with. Thanks to everyone!

As for the cake. Cade did just about what I expected. He was slow to warm up to it, but once he did he dug right into it and made a pretty good little mess. He was cute as always! We got some great pictures of him all messy.

What was the best part of the party you ask,,, the presents? the cake? the food? None of the above! For Cade the best part was his bath in the sink after eating the cake. Daddy sprayed him with the spayer and Cade thought it was the funnest thing ever! Wait until you see the pictures on the slideshow (I think those are some of the last). The look on his face will crack you up! It was so cute!

Today we have a few errands to run. We have some birthday money that was given with a specific gift in mind. So, I have to go find that. So, we'll be out running around. Tomorrow is Cade's actual birthday. We're getting his hair cut at 11 a.m. and pics at 2 p.m. I just hope he's in a good mood! Wish us luck!

Thanks again to everyone. I'll post pics of the haircut later in the week.
