Bjorn celebrated his first birthday back in mid-May. I was hoping to post pictures from his party by the end of May, but here it is nearly the end of June already and I am just getting around to it. Somehow time flies when you're busy trying to keep a three-year-old and a one-year-old reasonably well-fed, well-rested, and happy. Go figure!
Bjorn's birthday this year fell on a Saturday, so we got to spend the late afternoon and early evening of his big day celebrating with all of our in-town family members. The weather cooperated, and we had a great time hanging out in our *fully fenced-in* (thank you, Aaron!) back yard when we weren't inside eating Buca takeout and birthday cake. Leif was pleased that his little brother is not yet capable of opening his own presents, so he needed considerable assistance (which Leif was very happy to provide).

Leif was excited when Auntie Tickle Monster arrived!

Another fancy (ha ha) birthday cake, courtesy of yours truly. This is the traditional spice cake made with baby food prunes and pears that I made for Leif on his first birthday.
Bjorn approved of the cake selection!

Thank you to everyone for coming and making Bjorn's birthday such a special day!
