cameron's "first birthday"

Since Jeff will be gone for cameron's first birthday we decided to let him have a few presents and eat cake today. We started off the day with a trip to Angra and the "big park" with some friends. We then got Chinese food at a place near the museum and let the kids play for a few more minutes at another park. When we got home I iced the little cake for Cameron and he opened his "recycled" gifts. Jeff helped him tear the paper and then he had quite a good time tearing it up and off the real presents. He liked taking the blocks out of the shape sorter and actually enjoyed putting them back in with Jeff. The highlight for Cameron was definitely the candle and getting to smear icing on his face. He tried to go face first into the cake but the tray was a little far away. He settled for grabbing icing and placing it on his face and delighting in the reaction from his siblings who were watching. He got appropriately messy then took a bath in the sink which he always enjoys.
