We had the big first birthday party on January 16th at our home. It was a Mickey Mouse theme, which as I have said in earlier posts I swore I would never do, but my baby loves Mickey, so Mickey it was! Lots of family and friends came to celebrate our little man's big day. We had pizza, cake and ice cream. Clayton was a little overwhelmed at first with all of the people at our house, clinging to mommy, but it didn't take long for him to warm up. We did gifts first, and let's just say he was not deprived ;) He got lots of clothes, toys, and money. He didn't quite understand that you have to open one up, put it to the side, and then open another. When he opened the gift, he wanted to play with it of course, and was not too happy when it got taken away. He absolutely LOVED the Mickey Mouse plan that Abbie, Brian, and Macie got him. Daddy drives him around the house on it and he screams when Daddy gets too tired to push anymore. Daddy drives him just a little too fast for mommy's taste, but Clayton loves it, the faster the better. I hope that is not a glimpse into the future...I am going to have to make sure he gets a slow car when he is 16!
He did great with his cake. He started out slow taking a little bite here and there, and then he demolished it. He played more than he ate, but he did put on a great show. He didn't mind at all being the center of attention! He got a bath right after cake, and unbelievably, he even had cake inside his diaper...how did that happen???
All in all it was a wonderful day celebrating this beautiful little boy that we have been given, and we are so thankful for the family and friends we have surrounding us.
