Things went great at his party! Joy & I made the light saber cakes (post dedicated completely to that coming up!) and they turned out fabulous...if I do say so myself. We had a BBQ with family at 11:30 and Cael took a nap just before that like I wanted him to. Then he fell asleep for a little nap in between the BBQ & his party at 3:00. The party was a little rushed because it was so stinkin' hot but it was great. We stripped Cael to his diaper & let him dive into his cake. Then we let everyone else eat cake. Thank goodness my mom & Joy made 3 more cakes or we might not have had enough! We ended up having 1 yellow light saber cake, 1 chocolate light saber cake, 1 lemon cake, 1 apricot cake & 1 chocolate cookie sheet cake. PLUS 2 tubs of ice cream!! We really didn't have that much left over either. We tried to make Yoda cookies on Saturday but it was a failure! We used sugar cookie dough which rises too much. They looked great before they were put in the oven. By the time they got out of the oven you couldn't see his face at all. So we ended up not making cookies. Oh well!
I'll post his 1 year pix & party pix when I get them from Amy!
Dad making cookies for the first time & our Yoda...before the oven took his face away!

Cael can have his cake & eat it too!!
Mommy & Daddy opening Cael's presents & Courtney's friend Chad holding Cael. Apparently Chad doesn't hold babies much so Courtney had them take a picture.
Play us a song you're the piano man!! Cool Aunt Joy got Cael his first piano! I don't know why he insists on standing up to play it.
