Happy Birthday to Youuuuu

Last night we maxed out on pizza, cake and ice cream as we celebrated my nephew's first birthday, which was actually February 10. Little kids are so funny; Garrett was very overwhelmed by the whole ordeal, though he didn't relent from his usual demeanor of demanding to be in the center of attention at all times.

He spent about 15 minutes trying to get the wrapping paper off his first present, and once he realized there was a really cool toy firetruck under all the paper, he wasn't interested in opening his other presents.

After dinner and presents, we dove into the cake and ice cream. Garrett was not only frightened by the candle atop his scrumptious cake, but also by the boisterous singing of "Happy Birthday"...

But all was well once we gave him free reign over his bowl of ice cream and cake, which he mushed delightfully together. And then managed to get ALL over him, including in his eye. That's when you know it's a good party!
