Happy Birthday Preston! (Yesterday)

Preston had his very first birthday on July 21, 2008! To celebrate we had a Jungle themed birthday party for him. We invited a few of his friends that he interacts with. Unfortunately only one family was able to come but we had a lot of fun! We also appreciate the gifts from the people who couldn't, we did miss you though!

Here is most of the Jones family (minus Amy) and us at the party. The kids are all wearing different jungle animal hats. Preston's is a monkey and I think there are a few tigers and a lion too. Notice the Monkey hanging from the light, pretty cool huh? We had green streamers hanging like vines too, you just can't see them in the picture.

I made Preston an Elephant cake to go along with the theme. Too bad I ran out of powdered sugar so the frosting was a little bit melty. It was still good though. That's all that counts right?

The kids all enjoyed the cake of course.
Especially Preston if you can't tell.
He was even nice enough to share... almost, he decided he wanted it at the last minute.
He was such a mess.

I guess that can be allowed on your one and only first birthday.
We didn't know if we would be able to wrap his presents because he was so excited about the rolls of wrapping paper.

Eventually we got it away from him so he could start getting the loot. ;) He had a lot of fun tearing the paper off

And of course he loved all of his presents! Thanks everyone for making his day so special.

Preston is now officially a toddler, hooray!
