Alex's 1st Birthday - Part One

We had back to back parties last weekend. Since we know so many people, we decided to split up Alex's 1st birthday into 2 parts. On Saturday we invited our family friends, people I've known for over 20 years. I decided to wear Indian clothes since I don't get too many opportunities to wear saris. My cousins in India sent me a new outfit especially for the party.

Here are some of our decorations.





Can't go wrong with tacos



and lots of salsa options



The Willis Family, ready to party down (especially the men, look how happy they look)



Grandpa is amongst one of our first guests




The ladies sit in one room



while the men sit in the other


Alex hangs out with the men (and his musical table). Grr.



Only 20 more years to go Alex... or 17 if you're visiting the UK



A family photo




Alex's best buddy from daycare, Vandan came. Alex was so excited.
Here he is doing his big boy "I'm well 'ard " face.




Time to sing Happy Birthday to the birthday boy!

Here's Daddy and Alex in his highchair.






An ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins




And a little cake just for Alex





Grandpa offering Alex a bite





Still relatively clean




Spoke too soon



After a couple of minutes he really went for the cake


We decided to stick him in the bath after this and scrubbed all the frosting off.
He is sweet enough without it.

Alex changed into some Indian clothes for a bit.



Here's how he thinks the party is going so far

Look at all those presents!!


A small thank you we sent our guests home with



After everyone left and Alex had some down time, we opened presents



He got all sorts of neat stuff. Clothes, a laptop, a Mickey Mouse ride along car, some mega blocks!

After a busy afternoon, mommy and daddy were pooped. Alex had a ton of energy though. Here he is putting daddy to bed.


Better rest up because there's another party tomorrow!
