Tanner's 1st Birthday!

Tanner has officially turned 1! January 31st is his birthday. I was able to fly to Utah to celebrate! I'm so glad I was there for his big day!

Funny story: Cara and Mia had picked a Diego cake for Tanner's birthday. The cake was placed on the island in the kitchen until the party was to start. Graham stayed home from work and was down in the basement hanging doors. (We're finishing the basement.) He came up once while Cara and I were busy playing the Nintendo Wii and asked us where Mia was. Cara just assumed she was in her room playing. After a few minutes, Graham yelled for us to come and see what she was up to. Mia had pulled up her chair to the sink and had foamy soap all over the counter, sink, and her arms. I've never seen a little girl have so many bubbles all over the place! We thought that wasn't too bad of her to get into, but then Cara thought we should check the cake...Mia had stuck her fingers throughout the frosting of the cake! We looked back at her and saw that she had green/blue all around the perimeter of her mouth! That little squirt was trying to hide her evidence! How smart is she! I couldn't believe her...she was washing herself up after making a mess. If you want to check out the damage to the cake, Cara has it on her blog "Degns of our Lives." From that point on, the cake was placed on top of the refrigerator.

When it was time for the birthday party, Mia was a big help and blew out the candle. Tanner was a little hesitant at first getting into his cake. He started off just eating the frosting, particularly the orange trim (Again, you can view his personal smash cake on Cara's blog.). Once he had a bite of the chocolate cake, the rest was history! He had so much fun making a huge mess! Let's just say I was glad I wasn't the mommy that had to take care of this disaster!

He had too much fun clapping his hands and having cake fly all over the room.
