Joseph's Birthday Party

We celebrated Joseph's birthday a week early on Sunday. Jordan, Jason's brother, was leaving on his mission on the following Wednesday, the 10th,  two days before Joseph's real birthday. Jordan wanted to be present so we decided to celebrate a week early. On Sunday April 7, 2012.

French Toast for his birthday breakfast. 

 Lots of great family over for dinner and cake. 

The whole crew

 We had Favorite Lasagna (which he loved the first time his grandma Lewis made it for him) and salad.

Cake and Ice Cream for dessert. A puppy cake to represent his love for his doggie. It was a chocolate cake with Bavarian cream center and butter cream frosting. We severed vanilla and strawberry ice cream.

 Joseph got a different cake that was shaped like a football with a line down the center and three lines across. He first picked off all of the frosting and then start digging into the cake itself. We gave him ice cream and he put an entire scoop into his mouth. It only took a few seconds for him to start screaming because it was so cold.

 Present time.

A dog and a flashlight. He was in heaven. 

 This boy loves his dad, and is proud of it!

 After dinner, cake, ice cream and a bath it was time to say goodbye to everyone who came. We sat on the front lawn saying our goodbyes. 

It really was a great way to celebrate his first birthday. He seemed to of enjoyed himself. 

Happy Birthday Joseph!! We all love you dearly!
