November 11, 2008 -- Jude's 1st Birthday

The poor little guy was a bit sleepy for his first big day.

It started off nicely, playing with mom on the couch.

Then it was time for cake.
Not too sure what to think here.

Not a fan of the fire. Haha.

Okay, that's better with no flame.

Do we like the cake? Grace made it especially for Jude in her cake class.
It was really, really good.

But Jude didn't like getting messy. He was seriously ticked off.

So we played with balloons.

Jude LOVES balloons.
(best way to his heart, right there)

And then the sleepiness set it.

At 7pm.

A good first birthday for our little, or I guess now, big guy.

I cannot believe he is one.
