Isaac's First Birthday!

We celebrated Isaac's first birthday on his actual day...October 1, 2011.  It was a gorgeous fall day, perfect for sitting on our back deck and playing in the yard.  Matt purchased a pinata for the special day.  Of course Isaac was clueless about what it was, but he did enjoy the colorful ribbons hanging from the bottom of it.  It was actually a pretty strong pinata and took the kids several rounds and two bats (one bat broke!) to break it open.



Here is a picture of Isaac with his God-mother and aunt, Colette. Colette made Isaac's birthday cake, a Dalmatian  puppy dog!  (Isaac is in love with dogs!)  Isaac couldn't wait to get his first piece of birthday cake, but when he discovered it was sweet, he decided he'd had enough.  For some reason, Isaac does not like sweet sugary things!  (Yay, for mom and dad...we'll see how long this lasts!)  He had more fun spitting out his birthday cake than actually eating it!  We would have been better off to put some veggies in the shape of a cake in front of him!

Here is a picture of some of the kids that attended Isaac's party:
Front row, cousins Maria and Lauren and Isaac
Back Row: Payton and Ella Johnson, cousins Emily and Brayton.
Our neighbor boy Alex Tow also attended but is not in this picture.




We had a great time carving pumpkins during the party!  Matthew was pretty proud of his "Ghostbusters" pumpkin!  :)
