Garrett's the Birthday Boy!! Ironically, we ended up celebrating on the day that Garrett was supposed to be born, Saturday March 12th! :) All through the month of February I was deciding what theme to do for his 1st birthday. I wanted to do a huge blow out! He only turns 1 once! I finally decided on a "Barnyard Animals" theme! That morning, I got up and made 50, yes I said 50, cupcakes that Ashley and I would be decorating. Then, John and I decorated the house with "1st Birthday" balloons and banners! It was so much fun! We could hardly wait til 6:00pm to roll around!
We started the afternoon by decorating cupcakes like barnyard animals.
We made chicks, cows, pigs, and sheep!
And, I even let John make/decorate Garrett's very own cake that he would dive into later! :)
The Barnyard Scene:
I must say that they turned out so, so adorable! Ashley and I had fun making them!
The Birthday Boy's Party:
After we sang "Happy Birthday", we let Garrett dive right into his cake! He got a fistful of just frosting for the first couple of bites and then...
...he used a spoon....
..then, his hands again...
..and then, finally...he was covered in cake literally from head to toe!
I probably should have taken off his shirt and pants before he started eating cake!
Present Time:
Wow! So excited! These are all for you, Garrett!
Not even half way through opening his presents, Garrett was getting a little restless and not wanting to sit on my lap anymore so....
...I ended up opening the rest of his gifts! :)
John Deere boots (of course)
He actually got 2 pairs of these!
Even Elder Hill sent Garrett a birthday present! :)
Bath toys
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARRETT!!
We love you so much and hope that your birthday was as special as you are!
