We celebrated Luke's first birthday on Saturday, March 3rd. We were so blessed to have so many family and friends come to celebrate with us. Here are some pictures from our fun day.
Adam's sister Annie helped me decorate the cake. She did such a fantastic job. Thank you, Annie! The chocolate rose cake was for my birthday cake.
After enjoying hamburgers and hot dogs, we let Luke open his presents. He did better than at Christmas, but he still found the paper very exciting. He also had lots of cousins who were anxious to help him break in the new toys.
Daddy helped Luke blow out his candle.
Luke was not shy about digging into his cake.
Most of the cake ended up in his lap, but that didn't stop him from getting all the crumbs he could into his mouth.
Luke's cousin Micah enjoyed his piece of cake.
Grandpa D (Adam's dad) and Luke's cousin Sam enjoy the greenhouse. Sam is not quite sure what to do about his fogged up glasses.
All the excitement has worn Luke out. He took a nice nap with Aunt Joan on the swing.
Micah shows Will (Luke's cousin) how to drive the jeep. Daniel (friend) waits anxiously for his turn. The jeep was quite a hit among the kids. Meanwhile, the big boys tossed the football in the yard.

Thanks, all!
We were blessed with a warm enough day. Some were sitting under the heater and bundled in jackets. It was the coldest day of the week, wouldn't ya know.
Christi - Ya'll stay warm and keep little Lucas warm. I know he is a Texas baby at heart. =)
Christin,
Luke looks a lot like his mommy =) He's so cute! I can't believe how big he's gotten! I remember how tiny he was when you were our leader for SF...wow, kids change fast.
Hope you're doing well!
