Luke's 1st Birthday

We celebrated Luke's 1st Birthday in 2 parts...his actual birthday was July 8th but we didn't have his big family party until the 12th.

PART 1:

Jeff, Matthew, Aunt Heather and I helped Luke celebrate his actual bday with a special bunny cake (a Johnson tradition) that Matthew helped me decorate. We then opened presents...Luke got lots of cute outfits from Aunt Heather and a dump truck from Matthew (he decided about a month ago that he really wanted to give Luke a Tonka dumptruck just like his...I thought that was sweet).

Matthew's masterpiece (all his idea, I just did *most* of the gel work...he told me where and what!)

*Do not try this at home* This was a staged pic! I do NOT let Matthew push him around like this!!! Hahaha.

PART 2:

We had Luke's family party in at the cottage. Thank you to all that made the trip over. We even managed to have nice weather (something nearly impossible this summer). Luke got some really nice gifts and we are so grateful to have such wonderful families.

A little more my style:)

Yes, Luke is in fact, holding a toothbrush. Cake followed some outside time playing on the beach, in which my darling husband let Luke get completely soaked and covered in sand (keep in mind he WAS wearing an outfit that matched the decor but had to be changed...I know, I know not a big deal). So, I had to wash him up in the bathroom where he grabbed his toothbrush and under NO circumstances was he going to let me take it away!!

Yup, he still has the toothbrush...

Still holding it.....

Not sure when he let go of it but as you can see, he hung onto it for awhile...

Despite being devastated that my baby is 1, we had a great time celebrating Luke's birthday and are so, so lucky to have such a happy, healthy boy. The finale? Nana's trip down this weekend...she missed the party but we're excited to see her on Sunday:)
