Asher's Birthday

We had so much fun celebrating Asher's birthday. Tim took the day off so we could have a fun family day together. We decided to go to the splash pad. Asher loves to be outside and it was so hot we figured that would be the perfect thing. So right after Asher woke up from his nap we had some lunch and  headed to Highland to the splash pad. We had a great time. It was the first time Tim had been able to go with us and Asher had way more fun with him there.

After the splash pad we came home, had dinner and let Asher open his presents. I was so excited to give him his presents. He was so cute and opened them himself even. Tim just gave him a little help getting the paper started and he did the rest on his own. He loved his gifts, I was so glad. We gave him a drum filled with a bunch of musical instruments, blocks and some cars. 

I wasn't originally planning on making a cake for his actual birthday since he would be having a whole cake to himself in a couple of days. That morning we decided that we would make one though, it just wouldn't feel like a birthday without birthday cake. I made one while Asher was napping, nothing fancy but he didn't seem to mind :) It took him a minute to decide he actually wanted to try it but once he had a bite he loved it. Well, the frosting at least. He pretty much just ate all of the frosting off and then threw the rest on the ground. Now we know he's Tim's child, the frosting is all he cares about too, ha ha.  Unfortunately, the camera died right as he was about to dig in. So we only have phone pictures of him eating it.

Overall, I think Asher had a great first birthday, even though he doesn't know what a birthday is :) A couple of days later we had a family party at my mom's house. That will have to be another post though.
