Ezra's First Birthday Party

Today's circus-themed birthday party for Ezra was a blast. Grandma Sherry made the cake, which was chocolate and vanilla in a zebra print:

We had a pinata shaped like a clown. That thing was scary. I am so glad the kids beat the heck out of it.

Many, many friends and family came out to celebrate for Ezra's first birthday. We thought we over-bought food and were going to have to send food home with guests, but we ended up getting pizza (thanks, Uncle John!) around 8:00pm because all the food was gobbled up!

Ezra adored all the attention, and Mommy and Daddy totally appreciate the outpouring of love from our friends and family. Being the Raging Bull that he is, Ezra missed a nap (or two) in this event-filled day. So when our last guest left around 9:00pm, Ezra did his best drunken old man impression by stumbling over to my lap, crawling up with great difficulty (and very little grace), and immediately fell asleep in a pool of drool on my sweater.

Happy birthday, Monk ;)
