The Birthday Party

What a blessing to celebrate Kaleb's 1st birthday together with part of our family.  It was made especially sweet because we celebrated with his Great Grandpa Kenneth- what a blessing on top of a blessing.  It was Kaleb's 1st birthday and Grandpa's 83rd birthday- both born on March 22nd.  
Of course, since everyone deserves their own birthday cake... 
of course we had to have two :)  
Grandpa's- Coconut Cake w/ coconut cream filling
Why coconut?  Well, I happen to think that birthdays should be all about what he/she really loves.  As a kid, I remember Grandpa always liking coconut.  One time, we were staying at their house and Grandpa had been in town that day.  He picked up a coconut for us (and him)- we drilled a hole in it and drank the milk.  It was so much fun!   When I think of Grandpa and food, I think of ice cream, coconut, pineapple and jelly beans.  
Good news, we fit them all into his birthday celebration!  

Kaleb's 1st birthday cake was all about the things he loves too... 
 Cheerios!!  

 The party was ready...for the crowd! 

 Checking out the cake... a little cautious.  
 
Here Mom, you tries some too :)  

What a precious tender-hearted little guy we have- he truly has a sweet and caring heart.  How many 1 year olds just spontaneously share their birthday cake?  Love you so much Little Man :)  

 Phone calls from Grandma and Grandpa Roth :)  Yay!! 
 Ohhhh- time for presents!!!!
 The kid is an expert at opening presents!  

 Auntie Ashley is sooo much fun!!!!!!  She is awesome :)  

 Thanks for driving so far to bring me a sweet car and push me around- it was soooo much fun!
