What fun was had Friday night! We celebrated Ethan's first birthday with a party at our home that evening. Since he's still on isolation restrictions due to his immune system still in the "healing process", we could only invite over both sets of grandparents... which was good, actually, because I think a house full of people would have scared the birthday boy... he's not used to seeing that many bodies in our living room all at the same time! But, we had a blast.....
Ethan loves Baby Einstein videos, so we went with a "Baby Einstein" theme for the big day! And yes, mommy did go overboard with a large banner that says "Happy 1st Birthday, Ethan". But really, who can blame me... *wink wink*
This was Ethan's cake.... we adults had our own Carvel cake & ice cream cupcakes!
A lovely Boston Red Sox themed gift basket.... very nice!
Yummy tissue paper... we opened presents first.... little did he know that icing would soon be replacing the delicious wrapping paper.
I ended up opening the rest of the presents while Ethan watched in amazement.... He made out better than he did at Christmas?!? Wow. And alot of these gifts (and others not included in this pic!) were from other friends and family... you guys are great!
Time for cake.... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.... this was by far my favorite part!!! SO MUCH FUN!!
Oh, and little E wasn't the only one who ended up with tasty icing on their face....
After a quick sponge bath, Ethan decided he'd found two more toys to add to his collection....
Happy First Birthday, Baby! We love you so very, very much.
Ethan....

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore." - Psalm 121:5-8

Looks like you had a wonderful party. We love Baby Einstein at our house too (we have 21 videos and the activity jumper)! Great pics, thanks for sharing!
What a monumental day. A wonderful miracle. Don't you just love the whole first bite of cake experience, and he did a great job digging in. It appears he might be doing better with his food aversion. Praise God.
How sweet! I love the cake eating pictures, those are always the best. And you are looking super great, btw!
