I have been meaning to post pics of Jordan's birthday party for a while now, but I've been putting it off because I have a bajillion pics of both parties and couldn't find the energy to sort through them all...woe is me. I suppose if that's the worst complaint I can come up with, I'm doing pretty good. It's not the worst complaint, by the by, but I digress. Jordan's first birthday party was a family one. I am a believer in family parties. That's all I ever knew growing up, and I love those memories. I know I will have my fair share of friend parties, and cousin parties, and teenager parties, but I always want to make family parties a priority for my kids. We did Jordan's family party on his actual birthday and we learned several things:- JD and Karianna possibly enjoyed Jordan's presents more than he did. But I took comfort in the fact that they took the toys out of his hands before he had a chance to really appreciate them, so I could be wrong in that first statement.
- Despite number one, Jordan loves opening presents. He was totally into it. Didn't try to wriggle out of my lap one time.
- Jordan loves cupcakes.
- Jordan loves fingerpainting with frosting.
- Jordan didn't care if the candle was lit, he wanted the cupcakes. His reaction when I wouldn't let him play with fire was comical.
- Karianna and JD were great gift-getters; plus they each said a compliment about Jordan as tradition goes. Karianna said Jordan is fun to play with and he laughs good. JD said Jordan is cool.
- Buying toys on a budget can work. All of Jordan's presents except the books were one dollar apiece. The books were clearanced for 75% off at Albertsons.
- Jordan is a singer. He sang along with us during our beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday. I like to think he was adding a lovely descant.
Happy Belated Birthday to my grown up One Year Old! We sure do love you!
