Happy 1st Birthday, Evan!

It's been one whole year since the day Evan changed our lives forever. He's a wonderful child and Mommy and Daddy are thrilled he is here. Evan is such a blast!

His first birthday was pretty good. Mommy and Daddy had to work, so Evan spent the day with his friends at daycare. When Daddy picked him up after work, Rupa, Evan's caregiver, told Jason to go to the basement, where the kids play. Turns out there was a surprise birthday party for Evan! Complete with hats, cake, and balloons!! Evan had some chocolate cake with white frosting. Yum!

Then, Evan came home to a family room full of gifts, literally! He opened the first gift and was quite content and happy with it. Turns out he had a lot more to open, so it took a while! I know this slow opening won't last long!
He proceeded to climb on this box to get his gift out!
Then came the cake! Mommy & Daddy both decorated these cakes for Evan. We put a slice in front of him and he didn't know what to do with it. Mommy tried to smash his hand into it and he got upset. Well, turns out he wanted a spoon! When we gave him a spoon, he smashed it! We taught him well...
Yummmmm!!
I think he liked it...what do you think?!Now he's officially a toddler. What will this year bring us? Lots of laughter and great memories, that's for sure!
