Sean's 1st Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEAN!!!

We finally had Sean's family party 8 days after his birthday due to Rob's uncle, Marion passing away & postponing the celebration.

Kiana helped me wrap the forks in orange napkins which are in the vase beside the cake.

I tried to make a cake that looked like a pumpkin which really didn't until I added the real pumpkin stem in the middle. Only problem was it made the cake split a bit down the side. I wrote Happy Birthday Sean in cursive green lettering to try to look like vines. Every year I make a theme cake for each of the kids, this was a tradition in our home which I always enjoyed. The problem is I am very pitiful at cake decorating. I try my BEST, just there isn't much "best" to it! :-)

Cousins ~ Kiana, Autumn, Kaylee, Sean, Kyle, Randalyn, Duston & Sarah.

Kiana & Dusti gave him a Lion towel & puppet that they bought

with their own money. :-)

After opening all his gifts he came back to his card from Grandpa & Grandma Kennedy. It was too cute!

"Happy Birthday, Dear Sean, Happy Birthday to YooooooUUUUU!"

Dusti belted out the last "YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU!"

He was very gentle with his cake, taking one lick at a time, Until.....some family members "helped" him, then he started slapping his head & face & clapping icing all over the place!

He was very polite & stayed "with" his guests until the very end,

(since his bed is in the living room)

He immediately fell asleep once the cake was eaten & he was all cleaned up. We moved his crib from our room out here because he was waking up every hour or so. Once out here he only wakes us once around 5 am., usually. Mommy doesn't want to have to walk all the way to the other side of the house to his room, so he will stay here until he starts sleeping through the night. ;-)
