WHAT?!?!? OUR BABY BOY IS TURNING 1?!?!? WHERE IN THE WORLD DID THIS PAST YEAR GO?!?! What a joyful year God has blessed us with!!! We have had so much fun watching Nathan grow and learn! He has brought us countless smiles and laughs and he truly lives up to his name, "Gift of God!" We had a wonderful celebration on Saturday, June 19th with lots of family, friends and neighbors! Nathan's actual birthday was June 20th but that was Da Da's Day so we had his party the day before.
We decided to do a teddy bear theme for his party and MaMoo made some 3D bear cakes for the party. Here are the "naked" cakes with Nathan's teddy bear...
MaMoo whipping up the icing...
MaMoo hard at work (it took her about 8 hours to decorate both cakes...can you say hand cramp?!?!)
Grandma Krestel and Aunt Carrie came over to help with the birthday preparations and decorate the teddy bear cupcakes...
MaMoo closing in on the finishing touches...
The fabulous finished products...
Big Bear...
Baby Bear...
We had his birthday celebration at the picnic shelter and playground at the corner of our block...
MaMoo surprised us with this fun poster of monthly pictures of Nathan with his bear...
The party began...
The presents came...
The cakes arrived...
The birthday boy was ready...
The mutilation commenced...
First an ear...
Then decapitation...
Yummy!
Drunk on sugar...
Still going strong...
Eating it by the fistfuls...
Tearing it apart...
This is one tasty bear...
Enjoying the only time that playing with his food is acceptable...
Shoving in as much as possible...
I love birthday cake - even in my eye!
I would say that the bear definitely lost this battle!
Chillin' in the swing...
After the sugar buzz wore off...
What a surprise! Upon our return from Nathan's party this sign was waiting for us in our front yard...
Nathan enjoyed his balloons for days after his party...
Da Da's Day and Nathan's birthday were both on Sunday, June 20th and we went over Grandma and Grandpa Krestel's to celebrate!

The bear's last official photo session! It's been so fun to see Nathan start out about the size of his bear and now he's completely overtaken it...
