We are so amazed at how fast the past year has flown by. Zeke just fit himself right into our little family, and life never really slowed down much. Zeke's birthday was an example of how crazy things can be. We were booked solid with Christmas activities for 3 or 4 days before and after his birthday last week. So, we settled for a lunchtime cake party the day after. Even though it wasn't his true birthday, we figure he's lucky to have gotten anything.
And boy, did he enjoy it! What one-year-old doesn't love being set in front of an entire chocolate cake, and having a roomful of people cheer with every bite (and every frosting glob in the hair)? He even got to throw the leftovers on the floor and we cheered that on, too. Of course, older cousin Tate showed him how to REALLY make a mess with the chocolate frosting--Zeke has much to learn from his more experienced friend. Then a birthday bath, and time for presents (with five little boys helping him "play" with the new toys). We're so glad Dan & Dee & kids, and Leah, could come. We missed the rest of you. But Zeke didn't--fewer people means more cake for him!

Oh Christy, you captured some GREAT moments! Zeke has got the cutest smile. It totally makes me have to smile every time I see it. Also love the pic of all the boys grouped around Zeke. I am amazed that you captured a moment, and I emphasize moment, when none of them are in front of him taking over.
Darling Cake! and Darling Boy! I've been meaning to call or email, because I'm pregnant with our third boy too! I can't believe it - there must have been something in the water in Helaman Halls!
