After celebrating Jonah's first birthday before the big move, we got all of our family together on the Sunday after. This gave us some time to get the house in better condition for the big event.
Steve and Papaw (David's grandad) chat it up over the smash cake.
Everyone milling around before things get started. This is a good view of the back half of the living area.
All eyes on the birthday boy.
I don't think he's quite prepared for all of this attention.
David's Grandma and Aunt Linda check out the scrapbook that Steph has been slaving over. Clearly it is a work of art.
And here comes the smash cake!!! He's bracing himself...
He is confused. He has literally never been presented with so much sugar on his tray.
His first taste is a little tentative.
Further investigation...
Momma helps out to get a little deeper into yummy goodness.
He's giving it a try..
His initial reaction was not so great.
...but it quickly grew on him and he started digging in.
Oh yeah.
This is where things got really messy and he really dug in.
Memaw gets Grandpa Elihue in the action through FaceTime.
Papaw and Jonah hanging out.
Jonah and Aunt Linda get to work on opening some presents!
He couldn't really read his birthday cards, but he seemed to appreciate them anyway.
You can see he's already broken in a puzzle piece with some drool.
It was a huge blessing to have all of our families together to celebrate Jonah's birthday. He is a very blessed little boy to have the love and support of so many family members. Thank you to everyone who came to share in this special day!
