Happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you.....

Well, Nolan's birthday week is officially over. We really crammed in a lot of stuff the last couple of days. We decided to go to Chuck E Cheese for Nolan's birthday dinner which was such a blast!! We felt like kids again. We were trying to hard to get as many tickets as possible so we could get a cool prize at the end.
On the morning of Nolan's birthday we started the day off by opening all of his presents. Seriously this kid is incredibly spoiled!! We couldn't help ourselves! And we totally justified it being his first birthday.
After the presents we "tried" to put Nolan down for a nap but he was just too excited about his new toys and only slept for 40 minutes. During that time Jake and I went to town on the cakes for the party. Jake made a studly basketball cake for Nolan and I made a birthday present cake and cupcakes. We had so much fun doing it. We aren't professional by any means but it was very enjoyable to try.
Then off to church with a very tired boy. We last all but the last 30 minutes of church. We took Nolan home and he snuck in a nap before everyone came over at 6:30. That is when the party began!!! Everyone was so cute singing to Nolan. He didn't really understand how to blow out the candle so Jake and I helped out. Then our videographer, Ricky, gave you a tour of the first comers to the party with our camera. Shortly after we sang, a ton more people came. The party really became so much fun. We hope that Nolan enjoyed his birthday week and knows how grateful we are for him. He is the best little guy!!! We love you Nolan!
