The Big 1

Calvin's birthday picnic was the day before his actual birthday. After the picnic, we all went home exhausted and went to bed early! The next morning we were up at 6 am with Calvin, our early bird, for his first birthday breakfast!

Rocket ship birthday candle! Don't worry, I didn't give it to him lit!

First taste of pancakes! (Sans syrup)

"Dad! This one is burnt!"

"Hmmm... not bad after all!"

"Especially with my applesauce!"

Calvin opened his first few presents that morning too. We stretched out the present-opening over the next few days.

 After his morning nap, we took the last photo for Calvin's laundry basket series! Plus some more pics of the birthday boy.

Then Calvin had some lunch and James, Granny Anne, and I all took him to Gymboree.

Later that afternoon, we went on a very windy hike down by San Andreas lake. 

And at the end of the day, we offered Calvin a special birthday cupcake for dessert. He was not a fan.
