Jonah's 1st Birthday!

Jonah turned one this past Friday (July 30) and we celebrated with just us on Friday then a birthday party for the little guy on Saturday.  On Friday, Josh and I sang him "Happy Birthday" when he woke up...which may have been sensory overload at 6:30 am!  I made him blueberry pancakes for breakfast and we spent time at the pool.  Throughout the day, Josh and I worked on the landscape but we went up to White Pine for dinner with my parents and grandma.  Jonah LOVED his very own cupcake.  The little bug wasn't in bed until 9 pm!  On Saturday, with Oma's help, we got ready for the party.  We had some friends and their kids over for a back yard bbq.  Jonah was definitely the center of attention and loved all of his gifts.  Daddy worked especially hard at making him a pine toy chest, which of course was full of toys and other gifts.  Oma and Opa had mommy's tricycle restored (30+ years) to mint condition for Jonah and also gave him a collector's item of a Charles Schultz "Peanuts" print.  Grandma and Grandpa Anderson gave Jonah an awesome barn with animals, book, and amazing learning book made by Mary Ann.  All in all, I don't think the little bug could have had a better birthday.  Thank you all for the gifts and mom and dad for providing the yummy food!  Here are a couple of pictures and there is a slide show on the right:
