g's first birthday party

It's been a busy week here at casa de Garrison Etheridge. My mom and dad got here on Tuesday for the big first bday, which was actually on Wednesday (but we saved most of the celebrating for Saturday). We (mom, dad, g and Rali) did go to EMP to see the jim henson exhibit, which was great. I really enjoyed seeing all of his sketches (designs for muppets, storyboards for sketches, flyers for theater productions). He was an incredibly talented artist, which I did not know! Then Adonis came over for dinner later that night. So, it was a low-key bday.

Then Saturday was the big party. Thanks, everyone, for making g's first birthday so special. He had such a great time yesterday, and was so excited he had a hard time taking his afternoon nap! It was so nice to see everyone. He's really into the cool toys he got for his birthday!

G also had fun playing with bubbles with Maddie & Lucy, and he got to dive into his own personal cake.



Hope you had a good birthday, G. It's been a great year. We're lucky you're our boy.

The close-up picture of Garrison with cake all over his face is hilarious. He totally looks like you, Lari.

Happy birthday again G! Hope you had a great time at your first birthday party!

I think my favorite pic is the one with the cake and icing all over those sweet little fingers! The mark of a successful party!

Jenn & Amy I like both those pictures a ton! Jenn, Amos thinks he looks like this character called, bubbles from this tv show we like called trailer park boys in that picture. The expression on his face is so funny.

Looks like a very nice party and I am sorry we couldn't be there. I agree with Jennifer that Garrison looks so much like you, Lari. Good to see Lucy eating a cupcake!
