Anita sent these cute cupcake toppers. We wish she could have been at the party but we know she was in spirit! It was funny to watch the adults hem and haw over which cupcake they wanted based on the toppers.
I had to make the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate cake. This oven is a bit hotter than what I had grown accustomed to in Korea so both the cake and cupcakes were drier than I would have liked but they were both still delicious!
Robots from Target to go along with the cupcake toppers. These fell apart shortly after the party but they were cute anyway!
The girls really wanted to help me with the pizzas. Our grill died this week so we had to do them in the oven! (hot house!)
Henry went right to one of our neighbors. (I know he doesn't look entirely happy here but I think he was getting hungry with all of that food around!)
Singing "Happy Birthday" and checking out the candle on his cake.
He loved the cupcake!
We had a slideshow of Henry's first year going on the TV in the background.
The kids' table.
Getting to the last of the blueberries from dinner.
We had a nice birthday party for Henry today. We made pizzas (they were supposed to be grilled but the grill died this week. Not unexpected for a $99 grill we bought five years ago!) and had cupcakes and cake. We had two sets of neighbors and two sets of friends over which made this probably the smallest of the three kids first birthday parties. Only grandma was able to make it of the four grandparents and we were happy she was here both to help celebrate the day and to help with the prep-work! (Thanks, mom!)
