Micah's 1rst Birthday

Micah turned 1 this past week!  I can hardly believe he is already a year old!  To celebrate his birthday we had a small party for him.  We invited just family and kept it as simple as possible.  I just frosted cupcakes instead of a fancy cake.  We didn't do any games or activities since Micah is too young to participate and it was, after all, his party.  :-)

 Micah really enjoyed his cake, he knew just what to do with it and didn't need any prompting!

I had all the kids sit on the kitchen floor to eat their cake and ice cream.   It worked so well, it kept the mess contained and the kids occupied for quite a bit of time.

Micah opened his presents last, there were only 4, and it was very manageable for him and not overwhelming at all.  We like to let the kids play with their toys a bit as they open them so when there are a lot of gifts it can take a while to open all of them and sometimes our guests get a bit impatient.  So, this was great to have a smaller amount!  :-)  Micah loved all his gifts and has played with them a lot!  It was a good party, very relaxed and much easier for me to handle than the last several.
