Happy Birthday Anderson!!

He made it -- he crossed the finish line of his first year! Wow. Anderson celebrated yesterday with tons of his family and friends. You can tell he doesn't have any stranger anxiety because he moved from one person to the next just jabbering away. Everyone was his best friend!

He had an awesome crown and birthday shirt so everyone knew who the guest of honor was. Amazingly enough, he wore the crown most of the day. It was kinda like he didn't realize it was there until someone pointed it out, then he would pull it off.

The main event was really fun to watch. Anderson was more interested in demolishing his cake than actually eating it. The frosting was so sticky that when he opened and closed his hand he looked like Cookie Monster. Ha!

he didn't wear the bib for the cake-eating constest

mmmm...me love cookies, i mean cake!

We want to thank everyone for their birthday wishes and generous gifts to Anderson. He's very blessed to have so many wonderful people in his life!!
