This will take you to a new window

July 30, 2005

It was a beautiful late July day.  The park was full of sunshine and a light breeze.  The lake was alive with ducks and fish.  Daddy and Uncle Chris got up extra early to reserve a nice spot for the party later in the morning.  Thanks for getting up so early!! We invited lots of friends and family who came with big appetites.  Mommy prepared lots of good food and drink.  It was so good that no one bothered to take many pictures before the cake so you'll have to use your imagination :-).

Slowly lots of people came to join us at the park.  There were people coming up and saying "Happy Birthday, Liam!".  I got passed around from person to person, staying with both Grandmas and both Grandpas and, occasionally, with Auntie Jen. 

 
We took lots of pictures while Mommy was running around getting everything ready to eat.
After everyone was stuffed some people walked around and some went boating in the lake.

Later on, we opened up all of my presents. It took a long time because so many people got me lots and lots of things.  Thanks, everyone!! Mommy got some presents, too, since it was her birthday party, too.

Thanks to all of my partiers for coming out to celebrate my big FIRST Birthday!!
