We celebrated Graham's first birthday twice, once on his actual bday and then again on his birthday party day. His actual birthday was celebrated with balloons and gifts throughout the day and then a peach cobbler. Peaches being his vice, it was a very satisfactory and messy treat.
For his birthday party day, we headed out with friends to our favorite u-pick farm for apple-picking, farm animals, haystacks, wheelbarrows and lunch. As you can tell from the photos, Graham was not pleased with my idea that he should ride around in a wheelbarrow (Harper, on the other hand, was quite content to play Queen Cleopatra for the day, riding in the wheelbarrow and darn-near napping on the way back from apple-picking.) So while wheelbarrows weren't really his thing, cows, goats and pigs were. He squealed high pitched squeals at all the animls, shook the fence in excitement and was very happy just sitting back and watching the animals do there thing. When we got to apple-picking, he sat very happy in one spot and gnawed on an apple, watching as his sisters and buddies filled their bags. For lunch, he hunkered down with Pop Pop and showed him how to eat one bite, smear one bite on your clothes, or the clothes of the person who is holding you.
Cupcakes, goody bags and a nap on the carride home rounded out the perfect fall birthday.
