Woke up to greet the birthday boy and found him standing in his crib - first time he ever did that :)
After the kids got off school we took Luke to get some pictures taken, then went out for a delicious burger dinner.
After dinner we went out for cupcakes at Sweet Mandy B's. Luke got a mini cupcake and polished it off pretty quick.
We went home after cupcakes to open a few presents. Luke was pretty uninterested in presents, but his siblings were beyond excited to deliver gifts and share in his birthday celebration. The only think Luke was truly excited about were his balloons. Unfortunately, most only lasted overnight and the one mylar balloon was "accidentally" popped when his big brother stabbed it with a pencil the next morning.
Brooke made Luke 15 or so presents, which consisted mostly of art and notes she had written him. Each was individually wrapped, some in paper, some in bags. She expected him to open and review each of these presents, which was a challenging feat for a 1-year-old-kid. Luckily we made it through Luke's first birthday and look forward to the many more birthday celebrations to come.
