E-I-E-I-O....A Farm Party!!!

Andrew had a great 1st birthday. We had a farm party, because Andrew loves farm animals. Wilson even painted his new shed that he built in the backyard red so that we could have a "barn"! Thanks to all of our family who joined us in the celebration. Andrew had so much fun (and we did, too)!


Andrew had a little taste of cake but that was all he thought he wanted. When Wilson and I tried to see if he'd eat more, he just held it right by our mouths like "no thanks; you can have it." Maybe he didn't inherit his mama's sweet tooth after all!

We somehow managed to go thru the day without getting a family picture...but this is pretty close! Here we are with our niece, Elizabeth.


And, this was the barnyard birthday cake I made for Andrew...with lots of help from my mom! Boy, was it a project!! But it was lots of fun to make. We ate the "haystack" cupcakes at the party so we've enjoyed the barn all week!
