Today was suppose to be Josiah’s big first birthday bash with all our family and some close friends. Unfortunately, the weather kept everyone home, so our big party suddenly became just the 4 of us. We had a great family day and just hung out. Our neighbors, Lois & Paul, came over this afternoon to have cake and ice cream and watch Josiah “open” his presents. He hasn’t really caught on to the whole present-opening thing yet, so it was a good thing his big sister was around to help him figure it out!

I used my limited creative ability and attempted to make the cakes for his birthday–I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. Since one of our (many) nicknames for Josiah is “J-Train” we of course had a train theme for his party. His train cakes were black & gold (on the suggestion of his father) and Josiah loved digging into his cake. He definitely made a mess of himself before it was all said and done and had black frosting from head to toe (literally)! Then, shortly after finishing his cake, in true Josiah fashion, he proceeded to puke that black frosting up all over our white carpet. Luckily, I got most of it out and think I learned my lesson about using black frosting

So, we had a great day celebrating Josiah’s birthday. Here are a few pictures of his birthday party fun. Enjoy!
