Daniel's Birthday Party

Birthday Boy :)

 Since Daniel's birthday was during Josh's graduation we had to post pone Daniel's party in Spartanburg for the week after. Our friends Bri and Craig were very sweet to let us come over and use there house for Dan's party since we wouldn't have been able to fit everyone comfortably in our apartment.

Since Daniel's animal is a lion (chosen by his grandma Kate) we decided that a Lion King theme would be perfect! We didn't go too crazy with decorations but I thought it looked great. Daniel had so much fun playing with everyone. We had some of his friends from church and it was cute to them play and to watch some of the older kids play with him and try to help him do everything.

We had a yummy cake made for Dan and Bri and I made and decorated yummy Lion King cupcakes for everyone else. I think they turned out pretty good.

The cake was interesting. I was curious to see how he would react to it. I figured he would either dive right in or wouldn't want it. He was curious about it and was hesitant to touch it. Once he started he enjoyed the frosting but didn't really care for the cake. Then he got upset and got frosting in his eyes and that was the end of the cake. I think he lasted maybe 5 minutes and then he was done. I think it was all a bit much for him. He was getting tired and with so many people in his face I think it was too much. We tried again with a piece when we were home and he enjoyed that a bit more but not much. Oh well it was fun while it lasted but I was a little disappointed that he didn't enjoy that part of his birthday more.

All clean after his bath :)

Dan went home after the party and was so tired but after he woke up we had fun playing with his new toys. Thank you to everyone who came and helped us celebrate!!
