Happy Birthday to Adam!

Adam celebrated his 1st birthday on Friday! We had a party with pizza, presents, and cake and it was crazy but fun! I had a barnyard theme and made a cow cake that was gigantic and a lot of work! Adam was overwhelmed with presents but loved trying everything out. Now that Christmas is less than a month away, I think this child is going to have toy-overload!

Getting ready to open presents

All his helpers....aka cousins

Opening a present all by himself


Cow Cake (that took me 2 hours to bake and 4 hours to torte, fill, & decorate!)

"What is this? Should I eat it?"
"Let me get a closer look"

"Yum!"

He was a very tidy eater and didn't eat much past the frosting! Maybe that had to do with eating an entire piece of pizza shortly before?

After we put Adam to bed that night, Nat and I talked about how lucky we are to have such a wonderful little boy and how we couldn't imagine the past year without him. I'm sad my baby is moving into toddlerhood but I'm looking forward to all the fun things we'll be able to do with him and watching his funny personality blossom!

I can't believe he is one and I still haven't met the little guy! That cake is amazing, we love doing fun creative cakes, it takes a while, but is a fun process. Way to go and Happy Birthday Adam from the Dyars!

Man, you have an adorable child! (and a decent photographer. hehe) My mom made a joke that Heath and I won't have kids, just a kennel. Someday, sigh.

Ambra! That cake is amazing! Look at you, Adam is so lucky to have such a great mom!

I want to do themed cakes for my kids too...one day!
