Munchkin had a big 3rd birthday, but we don't really go all out for all birthdays. We reserve 1st brithdays for just family. Really, Brad and I are just too lazy/cheep to go all-out on a birthday the child won't remember. So, 1st birthdays are a family only celebration.
Brad's parents and sister came over for dinner and cake. We ended up inviting the missionaries, too, at the last minute because they didn't have anyone feeding them that evening.
After dinner we sang "Happy Birthday" and brought Papoose her smash cake. She wasn't interested. We tried to get her to eat some of it, but she refused. Then someone got the bright idea of sprinkling mini-M&Ms on top because earlier in the day, Nana had introduced her to M&Ms and they were a big hit. She dug in for the chocolate right away, got some frosting in the process, and decided she would explore the cake. Not much made it to her mouth, but she did finally make the expected mess for traditional 1st birthday pictures.
I for one won't complain that my baby preferred to not overindulge in the sugary goodness, unlike the rest of us...
Because we were awful at capturing the first birthday on camera, here are some pictures of the Papoose.
