We had Ethan's birthday party today. It was such an amazing day. It was a joyous occasion but I was still a little sad. It is so hard to know that my little boy is turning 1. The theme was "Little Safari". We had most of our family and friends here. It was so wonderful to spend this day with everyone. Ethan absolutely loved everything. He was a little overwhelmed right at first but he warmed up quickly to everyone. I picked through the picture to give a quick view of the party.
The cake. It was so adorable. It had animals on every side.
We had a cook out to start the party. It was so hot outside so most people ended up indoors. Here is Ethan eating his fruit and pasta salad. He enjoyed getting to sit on the floor with the big kids.
Present table! I think Little Man is just a "little" spoiled.
Ethan's first present. We bought Ethan his own chair now that he is a big boy. He actually enjoys sitting in it.
Time to open presents. Ethan was not really sure about opening presents so I opened them all. He played with each present as I opened them. He also liked the tissue paper but he would try to eat it so we had to take it away. Ethan is so blessed to have so many people love him.

Ethan also really enjoyed the birthday cards. He wanted to look at each of them. I think he thought they were books.

Uncle bought Brett the little 4 wheeler. It was a huge hit. Ethan wanted to be on this instantly. Thanks Uncle. We love you!
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Ethan. Happy Birthday to you!
Ethan only wanted the candle. He wanted nothing to do with the cake.
Ethan took just a little touch of the cake and he was done. No mess for us to clean up because he wanted nothing to do with the cake.
He wanted down.
Mamaw sang Happy Birthday to Ethan!

Ethan liked the pinata. So did all the other children. Ethan had several kids to play with. He had so much fun with all his family.
After the party we got all our new toys out. Nana and Papa bought us a bouncer. Oh yes we now our the proud owners of a bouncer. Ethan of course loves it so that is all that matters.
Ethan playing.
Ethan needed so free time after the big day. He had to get comfortable and run free.

After some rest Ethan went out to play in his new sand box. He loves this and played forever. Charlie also enjoyed the sand.
Ethan had such a great first birthday. He is so blessed to have so many people who love him. Thank you to everyone for all their love and coming to celebrate with us on this special occasion. We love you all!
