07 December 2008:  First Birthday Party!!!

So what can we say?  We survived and even thrived in this first year!  And to celebrate, of course, we had a PARTY!!!  Except for these first two pictures taken on his actual birthday, the rest were taken two days later, at his party.  Many good friends, neighbors and family showed up and a good time was had by all.  Although the Peej decided that cupcakes were not for him (much to Mommy's relief), Daddy more than made up for it by eating half a dozen.  Thanks so much to all those who came and made the Peej's first party such a resounding success!  (If any one has any good pictures, please send them and we will post them)

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...  I just like to brush my hair!

The Peej really loves the fish at Jac's Asian Bistro.  Here he is, stuffing his face with it on his birthday!

OK, everyone knew this one was coming.  What birthday would be complete without THIS picture?  And now click here to see the monthly progression of PJ and the Bear.  Isn't it amazing?

Gah!  Extreme close-up!  More on the theme of "Mr. Non-Stop Super-Grabby."

OK, what is everyone singing, and why is my cake on fire?

Ah!  Finally it's MY turn!  (Despite what it looks like, none of it got into his mouth!)

Cupcake birthday cake!  Saves on cutting and gives you more flavors!  Here we have Banana Cream and Chocolate Cream!

Here's one of the cuties that came to help celebrate!  Tyler is such a big boy now!

And of course, Isabella, who has possibly kissed the Peej more than Mommy... just kidding.

And Miss Maeve, chillin' with the wagon and a chewie like it ain't no thang...

Daddy, what are you doing outside?

The Champ with Grandpa...

Laulau with Greer (and a chocolate cream cupcake!)

Thanks Enrique (and Enrique's Papa and Tio) for the papel picado!

Happy party goers!

Proud Grandpa and Grandma!

The Three Golden Pigs and their Mamas in chronological order from left to right!

Another extreme closeup!  What can we say? He loves to get up close to the lens!  (a.k.a. try to steal your camera)

The proud parents on their little guy's big day!

The icing on a great day...
