Cannon started yesterday morning by having his Uncle Brandon, Uncle Kyle, and Aunt Tanaira over for brunch before heading to church. He even got to open an early birthday present from his Uncle Brandon, who was unable to attend his party later on during the day. After church, Cannon took a nap while his Aunt Tanaira and I decorated the house with green streamers and balloons. I decided to make Cannon's birthday party monkey themed, because I love monkey themed clothes and toys for little boys. Blaine and I tested our creativity by making Cannon's birthday banner, decorations, and cake. The party started after Cannon's nap, where he ate pizza, opened presents, and entertained us all by eating his birthday cake. Also, in the effort of keeping Cannon's older guests entertained, we had a "guess how many" jar filled with M&M's, and a couple of other games with prizes for the adults.
Overall, I think our first attempt at throwing a birthday party went well. I, for one, enjoyed planning and decorating for Cannon's first birthday party and look forward to the many more birthdays ahead. Happy Birthday little buddy, we love you!
