Happy Birthday Tristan!



We celebrated Tristan's 1st birthday in true toddler style at a local park. It was supposed to be a construction theme, but sometime around 2:00 a.m. the night before, I abandoned most of decor plans I had. It didn't seem to matter to Tristan at all; he had a blast!

Tristan had a great time playing with his friends and family, pushing around his new birthday present from Aunt Ashley and Uncle Rodrigo, and EATING! This child loves to eat, which was why I was very surprised during the cake smashing portion of the event. At least, it was supposed to entail cake smashing. I even purchased a small cake called a smash cake, and (accidentally) pre-smashed a bit for him, to make things easier. However, Tristan wanted nothing to do with smashing. Instead, he chose to take a slice of bell pepper, and dip it into the frosting and lick it off, repeatedly. Rylann didn't smash her cake at her first birthday either. So, it looks like I am raising a new generation of non cake-smashers.

Anyway, the following is a small collection of pics from Tristan's special day.



The birthday boy.




Loving his lion.




Did I mention this toy was a favorite with everyone?




Tristan was not into hitting what he thought was his brand new toy truck.




But oddly enough, he did enjoy watching others do it.




Rylann takes her turn.



Candy, er, fruit snack coma.




Tristan being invited to play with fire.
