Derek's 1st Birthday Party







We had Derek's 1st birthday party on Saturday, 13th. Wow...we had a lot of people at our house!! I couldn't believe we fit around 30 people in our house. We went all out for Dylan's 1st birthday so of course we had to do the same for our little Derek! It was a very happy occasion and I'll remember it always!!

Of course the highlight of the day came when Derek attacked his cake! That's right...he literally attacked his cake. He picked up the actual cake with his hands...not the cardboard it was on and was prepared to eat the entire thing! It took him awhile to realize that chocolate was something that he could like and maybe he wasn't suppose to dive in with his hands. Todd had to help him stick his fingers into the cake. After that...there was no going back. He loved his cake!!! I tried to take him out several times b/c I thought he was done and he let me know with several outburst cries! You would have thought I was hurting my child. But all he wanted to do was finish his cake!! If anyone should know not to take a chocolate cake from someone it's me!!! Papa quickly rushed him to the bathtub and he got a quick rinsing off. Of course with all that sugar one would think that he would never take a nap; however, the birthday boy slept for around 3 hours!

Thank you to all that helped us celebrate a year with our precious Derek! We thank God for him everyday!
