Weekend Scenes: A First Birthday Party

We had a weekend of celebration featuring balloons, ice cream and, of course, cake.

On Saturday, when the weather was lovely, we took Grandma and Grandpa Jerousek to Jester Park to see the buffalo {or "fuffalo," as G says}.

 The boys enjoyed climbing through this hollowed-out tree and peeking through the holes.

We spotted this very large flock of birds, and later discovered {after some digging by our family librarian} that they were pelicans.

Later on Saturday, Grant wanted to go to Target to pick out a gift "for Miles." He chose a tube of animal bath toys, which he brought home and helped me wrap. On Sunday morning, he presented the gift to Miles. "I can share with you," G told M. Then Grant took them downstairs to play with them and proceeded to hoard them the rest of the day.

We borrowed a blow-up bouncy house for the party, which was a hit with the boys and their cousins.

Of course, the day concluded with cake and ice cream.

Miles wasted no time devouring it, then whining for more.
