Blake's First Birthday Party!!

Happy 1st Birthday to my baby Blake!!  Blake had a blast at his party.  He was such a ham the entire time and everyone loved his personality.  I kept with the aviation theme for Blake's birthday party.  Cookie Girl Delights made Blake's cookies and smash cake.  I was super happy with how they turned out.  Of course, they tasted delicious too.

Grandma Donna and Nana had to steal some Happy Birthday hugs before the party started!

We started off with opening presents.  Blake sat in his big boy chair and hung out while Bill and I showed him his presents.  Blake especially like the Fisher Price puppy dog, as soon as he opened it he grabbed it and bit its nose!

Nolan and Carter were happy to help open presents for Blake!

It was time for cake, so off with Blake's shirt and on with his birthday hat!  Blake was all smiles for everyone as we gathered around to sing to him.  Blake was seriously a cheese ball laughing and smiling for his guests.

Time to sing "Happy Birthday" and eat the cake.  Blake was vey expressive while everyone sang to him.  Blake just gave a half smile by showing his two bottom teeth and kept looking at everyone.

Blake went for the cookie, but I removed it for him to dig into his cake. He wasn't too sure at first, but Bill gave him a little sliver of icing and he was sold.  Blake didn't dig into the cake, but he nicely scooped off the icing and put it in his mouth.  Boy was he happy with the icing!!

I wanted to take a family picture with Blake, one with the cake, one without the cake, and another picture with the entire family.

Blake did NOT want a picture without the cake!!  He started screaming every time I took his cake away for the picture, so I just left it.  Of course, Nolan and Carter didn't want their picture taken.  At least everyone was present for the picture even if Nolan and Carter weren't happy about it!

We ended the night playing with all of Blake's toys!! He sure is a loved little boy.  Blake was all smiles even until bedtime.  I stole another picture with my baby boy before bedtime.  

Happy first birthday to my littlest love.  I hope your first birthday was everything and more.  I love you baby Blake!
