The Big One.

Tomorrow (the 15th) is my first birthday and I'm really excited. Mom and dad threw a party for me over the weekend. All my friends came and it was great. Here's a rundown of the fun.


Here I am getting the party favors ready. We had an Sesame Street theme.

It's pretty much my favorite show and I love Elmo.

I got to play with my friends Eli and Jack.

Also there were Everett, Eli's brother Zach, and Milo and his sister Margo.

Unfortunately, dad didn't get a good picture of all of us together.

After playing and eating lunch, we opened presents.

Mom helped me out, and my friends did too.

As you can see, I was pretty happy with my haul.

I got lots of great toys, books, and clothes.

Now dad's just wondering where we're going to put all of this stuff.

Then, it was cake time! Mom made me this cool Elmo cake.

She also made some great red velvet cupcakes.

Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" and I blew out the candle (with some help from mom).

Then, I got my first taste of the sweet stuff. At first I wasn't sure what to think.

But, soon enough, I found out that this dessert stuff is pretty good.

Then, well, enough was enough.

Hyped up on all that sugar, that's when the party really started getting wild.

It was one of the best days I've had my whole life. I'm glad all my friends and family got to celebrate with me. I hope they had as much fun as I did. We'll have to do it up even bigger next year!
