Our Little Birthday Bash

Whew. I'm exhausted tonight. I'm not really sure why. I guess I was living through all of Daniel's fun today!

Daniel slept through the night again last night! Jacob decided to stay home from church today, so he kept Daniel home with him and I went. Looks like they've made a decision on a new minister for when the one now retires in May. Yay for a church that's on the ball about this stuff! He's a younger guy with 3 little kiddos and he'll be preaching the first weekend in December. Very interested to hear him speak.

I got home and got Daniel fed and down for an early nap since Grandma and Grandpa were coming over this afternoon.

We had a great time celebrating his birthday.



He thought opening presents was great...although often got distracted by other wrapping paper and gifts. He got really good at tearing the paper off when he really wanted too though!









Getting ready for cake!





He just didn't know what to think and threw a lot of the frosting on the floor. Silly boy!



But then he got in the spirit!






Then it was off to the bathtub!



Then I had to clean up the highchair while Jacob went and threw his clothes in the wash!

We got pizza for supper and then had cake and ice cream ourselves. Even Daniel liked the pizza tonight! He of course enjoyed the ice cream too. He gets that from his Momma!

Then Grandma and Grandpa had to go home. I had to get a picture first!



What a fun day! I had to bring up a new bin for toys and put some in his room. I think it may be time to start sorting through toys and maybe donating a few. I also need to find time to go through his closet and dresser and put away all of his summer stuff I still have out. I don't think I'll be needing those for him anymore!

Little Man was so tired that he started crying around 6:15. By 7:00 I took pity and just put him to bed. He was snoring in my arms within minutes. He was worn out by all the birthday fun!

4 more days of my baby being a true "baby" and then I'll have a one year old. Crazy!
