Finn's first birthday

Finn's first birthday was quite a time.
Jonathan's mom and my parents came into town, and we had a small family party.
That's my mom laughing at Finn.

For Finn's big day, I turned an apple Bundt cake into a very hungry caterpillar.

I think it turned out pretty well! And tasted good, too.

He's really not sure what to do with it.
And he's wondering, 'why are we eating outside? and why is my food on fire?'

Hmm... seems ok.

He liked it fine but wasn't really into the whole 'smash cake' thing.

I put this one in because look! we match!

My dad usually avoids the camera but here's a shot with him in it. :)

This is one of Finn's new toys. It's a truck with a crane loader on it.
What a boy thing! You know Daddy picked it out.

Here's Finn and Gram playing.

Look at the expression on Gram's face!
She's clearly planning some new way to spoil Finn.

Here's Finn playing on his new "splash pad" sprinkler/pool thing.
He loooooves it. (Thanks, PawPaw & Susu!)

He had so much fun with this thing! I was trying to figure out how to put it in the bathtub, but any plan that starts with running the garden hose into the house is probably a bad plan.

So Finn had a really wonderful birthday, and we were all totally worn out afterward.
I guess it's a good thing that birthdays only come once a year.

Still reading? Here's a bonus pic:

I put this one in because this sums up most of my day.
Reading to my sweet boy, with dirty laundry waiting in the wings.
I wouldn't trade it.
