Happy 1st Birthday Nathan Alexander

Our little boy turned ONE this past week. It was very exciting and sad at the same time. He’s growing up so fast and doing so many new things. We had a birthday dinner and cake on Tuesday. Nathan loves when I make roast and veggies, so that’s what we had for dinner. I made a little ducky cake for him to smash and then a miniature birthday cake for us.



Since we were having a ducky themed party. I found a cute t-shirt on the net. It says, Life is Just Ducky When Your 1! Nathan will not keep a hat of any kind on so we passed up the cute birthday hats.
Happy Birthday to YOU, Happy Birthday to YOU!



Dig In!


We were waiting for Nathan to eat his cake before we cut the other cake. Ian got desperate to taste the cake. Nathan loved sharing his ducky!

Where did the cake go??? ALL OVER!

Last Sunday we had Nathan's 1st Birthday Party at Knoebels. We had our loving family and wonderful friends there to share it with us. Thank you for making it so special!


I made these little thank yous filled with chocolate duckies.


Knoebels is about two hours from our house. How do we get the cake there??? I didn't want to put it in the bed of the truck in fear that it would slide and the ducky would fall apart. So I held on to it and there were no major causalities ;)


When we got to Knoebels we decorated the tables and then had some time before everyone arrived so Josh took Ian on some rides.

Thank you to Tim and Grammy for making sure Nanna arrived safely to the party.
There were a bunch of monkeys at the party




Ian helped with blowing out the candle.











Nathan was exhausted after all of the birthday festivities. He took a very long nap and missed going on most of the rides. Here is another cute shirt I found on the net.
Balloons are great entertainment!
This is Ian's favorite ride at Knoebels!


I think the boys were trying to get Jen to go on the rollercoaster again.





Ferris Wheel, the one ride we all went on.






Since all the kids wanted to go on the rides after the birthday cake we decided to take the presents home. Nathan enjoyed pulling things out of the bags, but getting him to unwrap wrapping paper was another thing.

Where's Nathan??

He's already a dare devilALL DONE!
