Cameron Turns 1!!!

Happy birthday Cameron! Cameron turned 1 on Thursday. It wasn't the most exciting birthday but he is only 1. We woke up and had breakfast (Marty cooked Cameron his first birthday breakfast). Then we had to take Mackenzie to school. That's not the most fun way to spend your birthday. After school, the kids and I met Martys aunt at the park to play for Cameron's birthday. Once Marty woke up we had chicken, asparagus and mashed potatoes for dinner, all of which, Cameron ate. By the way, Cameron only had 3 teeth so we ate slowly introducing real food to his diet. He opened his present, Let's Rock Elmo! Really cool, this Elmo sings 6 full length songs, plays the drums and a tambourine! Finally, for dessert he had his first sweet, his own cupcake!!!

Yesterday we had his birthday party! The whole family showed up. The weather turned out to be great so we had the party outside. Everything was decorated in Sesame Street and the kids played pin the nose on Elmo! I made the game myself!!! There was only 3 kids playing so everyone won a prize. We had so much food; chicken, hot dogs and sloppy joe's. 7 layer dip and chips, a veggie platter, pasta salad, baked beans and cheesy potatoes! Plus, cake and cookies. We had a lot of help with the food. Almost every family brought something to eat. Thanks to everyone who brought food. Thanks to my dads family and Uncle Doug who let us borrow the tent, my mom, Marty's mom and Mikey for letting us use tables, finally, for everyone bringing extra chairs. Everyone seemed like they had a great time and had enough to eat. I know both of the kids had a great day. Cameron fell asleep by 7:15 while I was holding him. Mackenzie was asleep by 8:15.
