Turning one can be a bit of a circus and that is exactly what it was for Ford, a circus! His circus was complete with a carousel animal birthday cake, a circus tent smash cake, popcorn, hotdogs, peanuts, cotton candy, animal crackers, Cracker Jacks for favors and even Smiley, the clown made an appearance.
*warning-picture overload*
The face of a brand new one year old.
The Man of Honor was doted on all day long.
The birthday song was a bit much for the birthday boy. I guess he figured it was his party and he could cry if he wanted to.
And crying is exactly what he did....for the entire song.
He got over it pretty quick after getting a little taste of the sugar goodness.
Yummmmmmm...
...so he had some more...
...and he had him some more...
...then he had enough.
Family portraits is not one of our strong points these days. Just capturing the moment and real life, people. Maybe one day when they're teenagers we'll finally get that good family picture. Until then...
The birthday boy was fine with the family shot.
Gigi and one of her loves.
This is a momma's boy.
Smiley was a BIG hit!
Daddy and his girl. Two peas in a pod.
Nano and one of her loves.
All the partying pooped the birthday boy out. It was just too much for him...
...until he hit the tricycle. It created a second wind for him. He loves it!
This little guy is now one. I hope this next year with a three and one year old drags on forever and ever and ever.
