Baby Cody rang in the New Year by celebrating his 1st birthday on 1-1-11!
His mommy threw him a basketball themed party and decorated the house with everything basketballs. We all sat down to eat lunch and enjoyed some ham, potato salad, mac n cheese, rolls and baked beans. When Jeff grabbed his plate he randomly turned it over and saw a #1 on the bottom of his plate. We joked he probably won something.
Sure enough, during lunch they told everyone to look at the bottom of their plates and the two people who had a 1 or a 57 were winners. Coincidentally, Jeff and his Aunt Holly were the winners. (57 is how old Bob, Cody’s grandpa turned recently-it was a dual party!)
After lunch we moved on to cake.
It was so cute and SO DELICIOUS! The bottom portion was white cake with raspberry filling and the basketball was red velvet with cream cheese filling. I’ve never had a better red velvet!
The top of the basketball was cut off and given to Cody to enjoy. He put both hands in…
and promptly began to cry! You could tell he wasn’t too happy with the icing on his hands. That is, until his mommy gave him some to taste. He was on board then!
Happy Birthday Cody!
