I can't believe my baby is a year already! Joshua turned a year on December 1st and we celebrated in Missouri the day after Thanksgiving. It ended up being quite a birthday bash. Tons of our extended family came (which was wonderful) and then we had quite a few "surprise" guests come in. Aaron's folks drove down from Minnesota-they were on the road longer than in town. Gina Russo was in from Colorado and Tim Herc & The Joly's all came down from the city, not to mention Doug, Angela & the girls there from Louisiana-it was quite a competition for the longest journey!
We did a dump truck theme & it was a huge hit, complete with hard hats & all. I made dirt cake and put it in a dump truck, and served it with a shovel for the adults and then the kids each had their own dump truck with cake in it and it doubled as their take-home favor. Since we had an evening part we ordered some local BBQ and served it right out of a dump truck too, super fun! The best part was how Joshua dug into his cake-you had to be there to appreciate it but it was exactly what you hope for with a one year old. He grabbed it, double fisting of course, and never looked back. It was priceless!
