Yesterday was Z's first birthday. We took (just a few) pictures. We had some friend over and ordered Chinese food to celebrate. I made a cake (with some help in the icing department from E below).

Here is the cake. It is some kind of animal. I'm not sure what kind. It started out as a dog since Z was born in the year of the dog. But I had some problems with the eyes. Either way, it tasted great!

E got dressed up like a star for a fashion show with the boys. She had a great time playing with them.

Here is the proud papa with his Chinese silk shirt on.

And here is the birthday boy enjoying a large piece of cake!

He really got into it when we gave him a fork!

By the end, it was all in his hair. I don't think much of it made it into his mouth. But he sure had a great time.
