Our little boy is now one. I can't believe how fast he has grown and developed into this little person. We had a great day. My sister shares the same birthday (December 11th) with Nathan so she came to celebrate with us along with my mom. We made two cakes and had lots of presents and fun. 
We did a dinosaur theme this year. Nathan had a Dinosaur cake and we went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point. It was a lot of fun and Ryan enjoyed the museum just as much as Nathan.
Nathan was given a lot of nice things. He enjoyed ripping open the presents. It took us a long time to open them all up because Nathan wanted to play with each toy he opened. 

The Birthday kids!
I have always been excited about Nathan experiencing his first cake but when it came time he was not impressed. He didn't want to have anything to do with it and was really upset when my sister tried to "help" him make a mess of it. He hated having the frosting on his hands and flung it all on the floor. We learned that the whole cake was way too overwhelming and he didn't know what to do with it. Once we removed the cake and just gave him chunks of it is when he really got into it. 
Our Birthday Boy!!
Happy Birthday Nathan! You bring so much joy to our family. We have enjoyed watching you learn and grow and look forward to many more fun years. We love you!

happy Birthday Nathan! Cool cake btw.
Happy Birthday Nathan! Time really does go too fast.
He's grown up so fast! I can't believe he's already 1. Looks like you guys had a great party for him, even if he didn't appreciate eating the cake! Both my kids were the same way. We spend so many months keeping them away from grown-up food, they don't know what to do with it when we suddenly force it on them while videotaping and taking tons of pictures!
Your cake turned out way cute!! I'm glad your family was able to help you celebrate. These monsters sure grow up fast, so don't blink an eye!! Miss YOu & much love!!
