Jordan's First Birthday

Last weekend, Jordan celebrated his first birthday with not one, but two parties! On Saturday, he had a great time hanging out with Matt's family, seeing grandparents, uncles, aunts, and even great-grandparents! It was fun to see him get into opening his presents much more than he did at Christmas - he really got excited with each new gift. He got some great new books, bath toys, cars, a plastic baseball bat, and a basketball hoop (Dad's favorite gift - probably because Dad picked it out...)!

Then on Sunday, Jordan had a blast celebrating with Sally's family and with our friends from our small group. He especially enjoyed hanging out with all of his cousins - it is neat to see the way he interacts and plays with other kids who are just a little bit older than him. On Sunday, he got some trucks, a race car track, an Aquadoodle, and some maracas (which he loves!). Last weekend also marked his first experience with cake. While he was initially a little hesitant to just dive right into it, it didn't take long for him (and us) to learn that he has quite the sweet tooth! He devoured every ounce of cake that we put on his tray! In the end, the two days of partying left all of us worn out, but we were so blessed to celebrate Jordan's birthday with such amazing people!
