PAAARTYYY!!

Today is the Day!! Baby Jace is now Toddler Jace! He officially turned 1 at 8:27 but who's counting? Jace had a wonderful day! He was so happy to get so many phone calls and well wishes! Jace's day started out on just the right foot--with breakfast. Mommy decided to make one of his favorites--pancakes. Jace was lovin' his Mama this morning!

Then Daddy surprised Jace (and Mommy) by bringing home this giant dump truck from the store. Daddy says it is just like the one he had when he was a little squirt. Jace thinks it is awesome because he can haul his blocks around now!


Of course the fun didn't stop there. Jace got to open MORE presents--including some cool cars from his Uncle Chuck and Aunt Denise!

But just when Jace thought his day couldn't get any better............you guessed it--it DID! Jace, Mommy, Daddy, and Aunt Erin went to Chuck E. Cheese! Jace got a few rides in before his food came.

He even got in a few games of ski ball with Daddy......

Jace had no complaints when it was time to stop playing to eat---he ate 1 1/2 pieces of pizza and 2 cinnamon sticks! The kid likes his food!

The last picture is a tribute to Mommy being the CHAMPION of air hockey. Please note that Aunt Erin should also be in the picture because Mommy beat her AND Daddy today. Of course Daddy is being a sore loser by holding #1 up behind Mommy's back. He was instructed to hold up the #2 (the first loser). This feat was even more amazing because Mommy was playing injured. A flyaway puck hit her in the elbow causing a tingling sensation early on in the first game. Mommy pushed onward however, and played through her agony. She is the Ultimate Champion!


Jace has one more day of partying before it's back to the real world. Happy Birthday Baby J!! We love you!
