Porter's First Birthday

For Porter's first birthday, we had a family party at our house. Even though it was only family, we had 18 people there so our little "sugarhood" house felt quite small. Porter had a gotten a cold the day before and had a slight fever, but he handled the party pretty well overall.

 We had BBQ pork sandwiches and a lot of side dishes. More food than we knew what to do with!

 Cody and Levi especially loved playing with someone elses toys. And Porter loved having other kids around.

 The Hanson's gave Porter this cute rocking chair.

   These three just sat around and made fun of each other and told stupid jokes the whole party. I'm pretty sure they loved every minute of it. 

 I made Porter his own little smash cake using a mini bread tin. I stole the idea from my sister in law Holly.

 No, this picture is not posed... ;)

 Time for the cake. It took him a brief minute, but once he dug in there was no looking back!

 Maybe sometime along the way we should have ended the cake fun, but he was loving it so much I didn't want to take it away from him.

After devouring the cake and taking a bath, Porter went to bed, only to wake up coughing and throwing up in his bed. We brought him into the living room, where he began to cough even more violently, and then threw up more than I have ever seen him do before. Again, maybe we should have cut him off from the cake at some point. After that though, he was super happy.
