Aidan's One-Year Birthday Party One year old. It's a big milestone, and to celebrate, we invited all of Aidan's family and some close friends to come celebrate. Lots of presents, lots of toys, and a lot of sugar... |

| The day begins! | The first present: a Fisher Price piano from his parents.
For a while, the bow was more interesting than the piano, but... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| ...obviously, that changed, as the kids swarmed on it like zombies on fresh brains. |
In which Aidan misunderstands the point of this box. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| New toy--a little walking plush turtle from Carrie and Steven!
And there was much rejoicing. |
The paper begins to fascinate. A running theme of the day. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| A bunch of toddler bowls and plates. Exactly what we asked
for, but we hardly expected him to enjoy them so much. |
Of course, the paper was better... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| ...and still is. | A swanky bee hat that Aidan found to be the latest fashion.
It's even multipurpose, as you'll see. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Purpose 1: hide from the paparazzi. |
Around here, Aidan really started to get into the whole "helping to unwrap" thing. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| A cool little Fisher Price workbench. Very enjoyable... | ...but the call of the piano was too strong to overcome. | |
 |
 |
 |
| The Jack in the Box: alternately fascinating and terrifying. | Purpose 2: To shield one from the horrors of the Jack in the Box (which really did freak him out for a while). |

| The birthday boy's cake, and the effort to get him to blow out candles. Not a big success... | ||
 |
 |
 |
| ...but the cake was a smashing success (no pun intended). Still, with everything else that had happened, and as fun as the day had been, it was nor really surprising when, five minutes later... | ||
 |
 |
|
| ...the birthday boy crashed, in his high chair, while eating cake. | ||
