Thad's Birthday Party

Saturday was Thad's big party! We rented the pirate ship bouncy at the YMCA. The kids had a blast running and jumping. Thad and I even got to jump around in the bouncy. We found a little room inside the bouncy that was away from the other kiddos and hid in there with Jill and Maddix. By 4:00 Thad was one tired boy! He had his own little cake that he got to destroy! After we all sang Happy Birthday to him I gave him his cake and he looked at it for a second then took one finger and dipped it in the frosting and licked it. It was so precious to see him dip one finger in and taste it! He must have liked the frosting because he went back for seconds and thirds and so on!!! The cake had lots of frosting so he didn't get too much cake. He had fun with it all over his hands and smeared it all over his face.

Question, is this cake all for me?

All the kids were around Thad while he was eating his cake and one boy ran back to tell his Grandma that Thad was eating all the cake and that he wasn't going to get a piece. He wanted to know why all the kids were just staring at Thad while he was eating his cake. He was very worried that Thad was going to eat all the cake and he wouldn't get any.

After all the excitement of the bouncy, cake and the guests he was beyond tired and ready for his afternoon nap. We waited to open his presents at home. He got so many toys and clothes! There was only one gift that he started crying when he saw it...........a bronco jersey and pants. My friend Sheila and her husband are big Bronco fans and thought it would be funny to give him a bronco outfit. Adam wanted to burn it but we decided not too! Good thing she left the gift receipt so we can take that back to the store! He got a wagon, cars, trucks, bath toys, clothes, a table he can stand up with, a zoo membership, tent, books, two different sock monkeys, and so much more. He is having fun playing with it all.

Thank you all so much who came to celebrate Thad's first year and for all who helped with the party. We appreciate all our family and friends and when Thad looks back at the video and pictures from his special day he will know how much everyone cares about him.

We took so many pictures so I put them in a slide show for you to watch rather than post them all.
