J's 1st birthday fell on a Thursday this year so he got two celebrations. The first on Monday (Thanksgiving Day) when Grandma and Poppa stopped by to visit. J got to open some presents and get a bit spoiled.

Then on Thursday after work/daycare, we had a party for J with chocolate cake. He was quite scared of the cake and candles (whereas K wanted to blow them out for him). They both had a good time as I don't think K can really remember her last birthday (her 2nd).

The funniest part of the evening was when J opened his gift from Grandad and there was a toy dog inside. The dog sings and moves around. K and J were absolutely fascinated by this and couldn't get enough of it!
