Yes, a do it yourself cake complete with Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Oscar the Grouch cupcakes
Ok, we tried to draw the faces on the balloons. That's what you get when you throw
a birthday for $20. I went to about $25 including gifts, decorations, grab bags, etc.. Couldn't help it!
To the left: Camden loves his new Elmo blankie
The get-up:
Is that a NO on the hat??
Loves his Elmo shirt with his embroidered name-Thanks Grandma!
The People:
The FUN:
Loves, Loves, LOVES the park! Climbing through the tubes is great fun (but
a rather difficult phenomenon for Mom and Dad)
First slam dunk! Thanks to Aunt Kristin's help and
Aunt JaNae and Uncle Taylor's fabulous gift!
Cried EVERY time we tried to take him out of the swing.
The gifts:
I didn't do a very good job taking pictures of all of the gifts, but he sure does love them!

We found out the day before Camden's birthday that he had an ear infection and possible strep throat. He was miserable. Fortunately, he was able to start antibiotics immediately so he could at least, in part, enjoy his birthday party the next evening. If you notice, he wasn't smiling in any of the pictures, nor looking at the camera in most of them. This is not normal! ha ha He's a big cheeseball, but was just feeling down in the dumps. At least he found some joy and now he is doing MUCH better! It was a fun party and a pretty darn Happy Birthday!
P.S. A big Thank YOU to my ma, Dad, Dev, JaNae, and Taylor for help with the preparations. I couldn't have done it without you!

Can you believe you have a 1-year-old?! I'm having a hard time grasping that I have a 7-month-old. But it looks like you threw a mighty fine party on 25 dollars! Glad your little guy is on the mend!
Camden is SOOOOOO cute!!!!! I LOVE the Elmo cake! (I was tempted to do something more detailed on Kennedy's cake...but I just don't have the skill). It looked awesome. :) How fun too that you threw a party for him! We debated on doing that for Kennedy..but we are so new to the area and the ward, I wasn't really sure who we would invite! Thank goodness for Skype! :)
I can't believe Camden is already 1 year old! How time flies. You did an amazing job on the party. I love the Elmo cake! Lucy would have loved a piece of that!
