Benjamin is the most excited about Luke being one, he just never could grasp the concept of 10,11 months old and likes that all the boys match and are 3, 2 & 1. Personally it is a little overwhelming to Brian and I.
Luke had the best first birthday in our families history. He went to Peter Piper Pizza with Papa, Grandma and my sister's family. (don't EVER attempt that on a Saturday during the holidays) The whole thing proved a bit much for Jeff who promptly fell asleep at the table after finishing his pizza, important things first. I think it was the worst pizza my dad had ever had, but a great time was had by all under 5!
Later that night we had cake. Luke's brothers and cousins each got to decorate a section of the cake, which was another big highlight of the day. When Daddy got home from school we had presents and cake. Luke fully grasped the concept of "digging in".
This is a big milestone in the Jones family. This marks the first one of our children to turn one without a sibling on the way!
