Pip's 1st Birthday Bash

Video #1, Pip starts crooning with us while we're singing ♪ ♫ Happy Birthday ♪ ♫ to him.

Video #2, Pip tearing into his birthday cake.






Here's how in went down in pictures:


{Remember Debbie? Yeah, she made this adorable bear cake for Pip. She makes all my kids' birthday cakes. She volunteers. She's awesome! Everyone needs a Debbie neighbor.}


{Pip joining in a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday (to him).}


{Cute little one-year-old.}


{Pip gets an ear to mangle.}






{Pip let me suck all the cake off his fingers; thus, my messy face.}


{Bugga trying to convince us that cake makes you strong.}


{Buddha approves the fare. Home run, Debbie!}


Oh, the faces of Pip!




















The damage (which really wasn't too bad, all things considered):






***Special thanks to the grandparents for their thoughtful gifts for Pip! We will be visiting Wal-Mart this week to pick out something appropriate that sparks his fancy. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We sure do love and appreciate you!***
