Birthday presents!

Ethan's first Birthday

So this is me...uncrafty, not very original and tasked with my child's first birthday. Talk about stress. Why is it that this seems like such a momentus milestone and all he is going to care about is the toys and the food. I bet he won't even remember how stressed out I was cooking and cleaning. :-)








I decided to keep it simple and just bombard him with presents. We got him a real Radio Flyer red wagon he just loves pulling all over the yard. He likes riding in it too. Wonder if he can do barn chores with it. :-) For his party, I actually cooked dinner and made a homemade fruit dessert for him. We even used the dining room for the first time. The entire family was here to celebrate and E put his hand right in the cake. It was classic.

His favorite toys are the walker shown above and the John Deere phone. Can't get him off the cell phone and remote control kick. He is fascinated with our new cats as well. That is him with Starbuck, the manx. She lets him torment her and even lays there when he takes a fist full of her fur. Boomer on the other hand stays just out of reach.
