Happy Birthday to VANCE!!! One and loving it!!!

I can't believe that our little boy is already one. He has been such a joy and we love him more and more each day, if that is even possible. I wish that everyone could be around him while he is growing up but alas we all have to do our jobs and everyone can't move wherever we do. He really had a great time on his birthday. We had a few friends from the ward, the missionaries, and our friend Vania at his party. He was just enjoying himself opening the gifts. I think he liked opening the gifts more that eating the cake. He did a really good job with the paper and loved the ones in bags. His "Theme" was turtles. I know his cake isn't the best but hey it's my first one ever so maybe next year will be improved. He didn't really like the cake much but he loved to touch the frosting and rub it into anything he could. Note how the frosting gradually grows and grows. It was so funny to see the pictures later. He wanted to share with everyone. We took him to the mall and he rode the carousel and I am not sure if he really liked it or not but he sure is cute. He is just the best kid anyone could ever ask for. We love him and hope that you all enjoy these little pictures from his BIG DAY!!!!!
