Max's 1st Birthday

 Our little man is one!!   I can't believe he is that old.  

We had a great party!  

I usually make all the cakes in this family but this year, I knew the day was going to be crazy busy so my friend Kara told me about this awesome lady that does custom cakes.  

She was awesome and was totally fine with the last minute order.  

Kendall insisted that the cake have motorcycles and she made this amazing cake!  

It tasted awesome as well.  I hate store bought cakes, so I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious this cake was.   It was white cake with a berry filling.  YUM!

Max loved all the attention, he is such a ham.

Madeline took the honors of blowing out the candle.

Time to dig into his very own cake!

As you can see he got pretty excited about it and grabbed it....

but then he didn't like the feeling of it.

Will somebody else please take this cake?

It feels weird.

We finally cut him a slice and gave him a bite and he really liked it!

He had a great night and enjoyed all of his presents.

Now onto what Kendall got him for his first birthday....

A jumbo fun ball!

No, I was not involved in this decision.   

This is what happens when Kendall and my brother Derek get together to purchase a birthday gift.

Right now Max has a love hate relationship with the ball.  He has been knocked over a few times and gotten stuck inside a few times, hence the hate part of the relationship.  But when Madeline plays with him in it he loves it!
