We celebrated Patrick's first birthday with a BBQ with both of our families. I made these fun cupcakes with a Martha Stewart cake recipe and some good old Duncan Hines frosting. I added a little bit of green food coloring to the frosting and piped it on. The cute cupcake papers and animal toppers came from Williams-Sonoma.
Patrick experienced bubbles for the first time...
...as well as hot dogs.
He had a blast opening presents, especially once he figured out that underneath all that useless paper were new toys for him to play with. The first one went rather slow, but after that, he was grabbing for the next present, one after another.
Taking his new fire engine for a test drive.
This was the first time he had ever had anything remotely sweet like this. I think he liked it.
And then came the look of, "Mom!... Why did you let me eat that???" Haha, he was definitely wired the rest of the day. Good thing birthdays only come once a year.
