Des's first bday was CrAzY fun and we had lots of people come a celebrate with us! I LOVE when my sister-in-law comes to functions because a) she's great anyway and we always have fun and b) she has an amazing camera!! YAY! So most of these pics are courtesy of Rachel--THANKS!!
Here's the birthday boy all ready to start digging in! I stenciled his shirt for the big day (get the instructions here on a fantastic blog I read every day!) Easy-peasy and super cute! And a shout-out to Kellie and her bf in the background--yeah!
Here's the birthday cake from HECK it caused me a few hard-to-sleep nights and a little of my sanity. Disclaimer: one of those blocks was harmed in the making of this cake. It may have been attacked by a butter knife with a vengeance. Kolt says I need anger management. I say only when it comes to making crazy cakes. But I was mostly happy with the end result.
Oh man we were excited to see what would happen. We knew it was only a matter of a few seconds....
And then his mom chickened out and put a bib on. "Party-pooper!" we all yelled.
He LOVED the cake, this face has nothing to do with his enjoyment or lack-thereof. He actually ate cake until the gag reflex started kicking in and we rushed in to administer 4 cc's of milk STAT!! (seriously. Gagging, face was red, eyes watering...and my grandmother had a white tablecloth on the table in front. Not good.) But we saved our little patient and spared the tablecloth a chocolate fountain of horribleness. 
And then it was time for presents!! Des got as much, if not more, toys as he did at Christmas! It was INSANE but good thing we had a bunch of helpers who were more than willing to open some presents. Des did the usual "open one and was done" thing. I'm still trying to get my head around how great everyone was to bring gifts and hang out and all of that stuff. Thanks again, everyone! It was a great day and a great party!
p.s. look at how long my hair is getting! Ack!! Time for a stinking hair cut. And it looks way brown in this photo too. Dang it. Where's my hair stylist when I need her??!

Happy Birthday Destry!! I can't believe it's been a whole year. Wahoo!
happy birthday,...sorry we missed the part-a! and i LOVE the batman pic below!
The cake looks great! Don't beat yourself up, you'll have lots more practice over the years! I don't even have a picture of my worst cake ever. It's hard to make a cake in July, when your only air conditioner is in the kitchen blowing right on the cake, so we had to turn it off. The frosting melted everywhere.
I hope I didn't sound negative. Your cake looks REALLY great! better than the one I mentioned previous
hahahaha thanks, Colette. I knew what you were trying to say. made me kind of laugh though. We had a frosting dilemma when kolt decided to turn ON the heater and it stared blowing on my newly frosted blocks. He decided it was best to just be cold for a little longer to save his own life. :)
