Finn's 1st birthday bash

Although Finn's birthday isn't until the 18th, we were down in Orem and thought we'd celebrate it with our family and friends down there. This post will just mainly be pictures. On his actual birthday I'll write a bit more about his first year of life.

I found a cute little Martha Stewart elephant paper punch at Robert's that I made tons of tiny paper elephants with.

All the animal fabric was from my grandma. Straight from the 70's! My mom made a quilt for Finn out of it, and the remainder I used to decorate for his birthday.

Couldn't quite get a smile out of him next to his birthday cake. Oh well (:

I made a little birthday wish book for people to sign, and I'll fill it with pictures from his birthday party later. I also made a collage picture compiled of 1 picture from each month up to a year. Crazy to see how much he has changed! He seriously used to look like a skinny, bald, old man.

He wasn't too hip about the cupcake and only ate a little bit of the frosting. Everyone kept trying to get him to eat some, and I loaded him up on cream cheese fruit dip which led to a barf-fest later that night. Woops (:

He kind of got in to tearing the wrapping paper off his gifts.

I don't think babies really get what's going on for their 1st birthday. At least Finn didn't. And he seemed a little overwhelmed by all the people around. But he really enjoyed playing with the other kiddos that came! Thanks to everyone that came and for the love that you show Finn every day!
