Dane's 1st Birthday







Dane's Birthday party went really well. It was the first of five days in a row of family functions...so a bit overwhelming for him (and me). I guess that will always be the case with his December 23 birthday! He was really clingy at first with all of the people at the house and showering him with attention, but he was his usual self by the end of the party. He got lots of really nice things, books and toys mostly.
I was SO thankful that my sister came into town to help me. She was an absolute LIFESAVER. We baked the cake and cupcakes, did the goody bags and decorated for Dane's 'snow' theme. Not to mention all of the other last minute running around and Christmas shopping/wrapping!
Dane was a riot with his cupcake, he carefully touched it, then looked at the frosting on his hand. He slowly tasted it and then it was all over - he devoured it. His first taste of real sugar! It was very sweet (ha, ha...).
