Abram's Birthday Party

We threw a big party for Abram's birthday in addition to the family party earlier in the week. It has been so fun celebrating! Here's some pictures from the party:

I'll have you know I made all those cupcakes! Little trick I learned: Open store bought frosting and dump it into your mixer and mix it on high for a few minutes or so and the frosting becomes super fluffy and almost doubles in size. You get more bang for your buck AND you get fluffier frosting. You're welcome.

Lots of friends and family came to celebrate.

The time finally came to sing happy birthday to Abram, so we all gathered around his high chair...

But he was a little distracted.

 We finally moved the balloons away and caught his attention.

And then...the happy birthday song. This is a long video of the song so I don't think most people will appreciate it, but I loved watching it!

Birthday beard:

 He loved it!

And then he got mad. That's what happens when you skip nap time for a party ;)

We opened presents and Abram loved that too!

Kinda...

John helped Abram see how exciting opening presents can really be.

Man... John is hot.

Anyways...Abram's favorite present at the party was this green ball. He crawled around like this for awhile.

"Fun Birthday Party mom and dad, but it's time for me to ditch this popsicle stand and check out that playgound."

 Happy Birthday, Dude.
