Daniel's 1st Birthday

Daniel is the big 1!!! Can you believe it? This week seemed like a big celebration. It all started on Tuesday, Hannah made frog cupcakes to give to all the kids and their parents at therapy class. They all sang to him and wished him many more years!
We decided to have the big party until Saturday when more people could attend. The theme was farm, so Hannah and I made a big barn out of cardboard and set up a little photo op in our living room. Our next door neighbor had the cow piñata made and it looked so cute with our barn.
A happy little boy.
Daniel is learning cow talk.
He was the center of everybody's attention. He wasn't sure what to do.
Hannah did an awesome job on the cake as usual. She worked so hard. If you look really close you can see where the farmer plowed lines in the field. Most everything is edible except of course the people, animals and the roof on the barn, we made it out of Styrofoam.
Getting ready to plant.
What a crew! These kids had a blast.
Hannah made spaghetti for everybody, it was so good.
Then it was time for the piñata, Daniel got the first hit.
He tried so hard to break that thing but it was tough. It took a pretty bad beating until it broke.
It's every man for himself.
By cake time Daniel was ready for a good nap. I actually had to wake him up so we could cut the cake, he was sooo tired.
Along with all the treats we gave out, each kid got a Bible story book. 

It was a great week. I hit the big 30 on Friday, I guess I was kinda included in the party as well. So all week long it was cake and parties and we ended it with a big shebang.  We thank God for Daniel's first year and wish him many many more!! Happy Birthday Daniel!
