Jonah - First Birthday Party

I can't believe it's not butter and that Jonah is 12 months old. To celebrate, we decided to have a kids birthday party for 49 people. 23 of those 49 were under the age of 9. So it was a fairly chaotic night at the Kent household.

Mommy spent many hours baking these cupcakes and the birthday cake. Thank goodness daddy didn't have to decorate as I'm not sure what a whale stick figure looks like.

Jonah sure did seem to enjoy eating his birthday cupcake!

Here's Jonah opening one of his new toys with some help from the neighborhood kids.

Here's Jonah looking a little overwhelmed and looking for daddy's help after being swamped by all of the neighborhood kids.

This is Jonah's cougar friend Shelby. She's a sweetheart and helped Jonah with his nighttime bottle.
