My First Birthday Party

The Saturday after my birthday, Mommy and Daddy had a birthday party for me. It was really fun. Most of my family was able to come all the way down to Southgate for this special occasion. We also had some friends over too. We had hamburgers, potato salad and coleslaw, vegetables, and chips. It was such a nice day outside that we were able to spend the whole time out on the lawn.

I got some very nice gifts for my birthday. I got clothes, beach balls, and a new pair of tennis shoes. I also got a slide and swing, and a lot of cool new toys. Here is one my new toys. It is a Jeep Hurricane powerwheels. It is fun to ride around in. My legs aren't quite long enough to reach the pedals so my buddy Jordan would push on the gas for me. Later on in the day, I was sitting in the passenger seat and I let someone else drive.

This was my first birthday cake. It was all my favorite colors. We got it from a store around the corner from our house. I guess that it was good, I didn't get any of this one.



Mommy made me my very own special cake. It was a cake that nobody else could have, only me. It was white with pink cherry frosting. At first I wasn't sure what to do with it. When ever I start smashing my food between my fingers or throwing it on the floor, I always get told "NO!!!" Now they want me to do this. Being a child is very confusing.

Fortunately my Aunt Wellie showed me what to do. She took some of the frosting and wiped it on my face. After that, I would grab hand fulls of the cake and squish it between my fingers. There was nothing left of the cake when I got done with it.
