Brahm's Birthday

We celebrated Brahm's 1st birthday with family and a couple of friends.  It was fun for the most part....but Brahm really wasn't "into" celebrating that day....

 First, we let Brahm open his gifts from us during the afternoon.  The biggest hit was the new sippy cups we got for him...

 Practicing on the new ones...

Oliver and Lily were MORE than happy to teach Brahm how to play with Duplo blocks!

He loves balls, so for the party, I made everything polka-dots.  

After supper, we brought over Brahm's piece of cake to dig into (and we thought, since he's had sugar already--he'd be REALLY excited about this cake!)  but no.  He screamed.  He almost grabbed the candle in my attempt to just get a picture....and then things went downhill from there.  Long story short--we stopped the charades and just held him, and finally, he started to perk up as people left.  I really think that kid just doesn't like lots of people around! :-)



He got some really sweet presents and that went well...it was a fun celebration--and DEFINITELY memorable!
