The 1st Birthday Party

This past week was a big week! Aunt Christy arrived on Wednesday, Jasper started walking on Thursday, and we had his first bday party on Saturday. Also we had snow flurries and a dusting of snow on Saturday morning, crazy!

In honor of Jasper's first word (and now his word for everything - dog, car, truck, plane, etc.) the theme for the party was duck!
Favorite new toy - a wagon!Here are lots of pics from the party --

Singing to Jasper



On Saturday morning, Darrell tried to teach Jasper how to blow out a candle which he did once but it was accidental. He didn't get the technique down before the party. Maybe next year.Cutting the cake - the other kids at the party know all about cake and presents. Jasper didn't mind that the other kids took over his new presents.
Jasper enjoying some apple spice cake.

He mainly wanted to play with the fork.
He seemed to like the cake but didn't like the icing.
Baby pictures of the adult guests...can you guess who is who?
Jasper tells the Tritts he is excited about having a playmate next door!
All the new toys - sooo fun!!!!

He loves the wagon.

We do have some video of Jasper walking that I will upload soon. I also have a lot of video from the past month or so of Jasper laughing which is just hilarious. I will try to get some of our video next week.

Trying to get Jasper to walk on camera...



All this walking and partying is quite tiring -

Thanks for sharing Jasper's first birthday with us! I loved hearing all of you singing happy bd to him and watching his face. Tell your Mom and Dad hi for me! We need to plan a Clemson football game day next fall with the grandparents and the little ones in attendance! It would be such fun to see Walker, Jasper & Alexa playing together.
