Elias Turns One (and has a backwards birthday party)

Elias officially turned one on June 26th. We began the morning hanging out at the campground. Had breakfast and relaxed a bit. Gma & Gpa Davis went to get the stand ready for another day of concessions. Daddy, Corbin, Elias and I went shopping and hit a garage sale or two on the way. In the afternoon, Gma Cathy came and we went with her to the mall....and that is where the real fun begins! We were on our way out of the mall and saw that the weather wasn't looking very nice, so we watched the tv in the food court. There were tornado warnings, flash flood warnings and severe weather warnings! We were there told to go into the hallway of the mall and stay there until further notice...which ended up being a while! We were let out, got some supper and then told to go right back into the hallway...where we spend the next hour or so! The boys were losing there minds, people were complaining about how it's their lives and they can leave if they want to...it was a long hour! We were let out and drove over to Joel's aunt and uncles to stay the night...being the camper was not sounding very safe.

When we woke up on Saturday (the day of Elias' party in the park), we were planning on having the party moved to a restuarant, but Betty and Leonard let us have it at there home! So we went and picked up the cake and then decorated.

We decided to have a backward party (presents first, then cake, finally food) so Janice and George could be there for the presents and cake!
Elias' first birthday cupcakes!
Ready to open up his presents.
We found this cute hat and bought it, even though we knew he wouldn't keep it on his head!

Opening his presents.






Singing Happy Birthday to the little one year old!
His cupcake...that he was not at all interested in!
Thanks to everyone for coming and celebrating!

It is amazing how fast his first year went! I still can't believe he is already one!!!
