Happy Birthday Griffin

I have received many emails demanding birthday pictures, so here they are. I apologize for the delay, it has been a busy month. My parents came from Ontario for Griffin's 1st birthday. It is always nice to have them visit and extra hands are always great. For those that know Jordan and I well, know that we are pretty low key. So for Griffin's birthday we had my parents, Jordan's mum and step-father over for dinner, that is it. No big party, just good old fashion prime rib and chocolate cake.

As is tradition in my family, the birthday cake is layers of chocolate cake with lemon spread and chocolate fudge icing in between. Boy what a gong show that was to make. The cake was so moist and it stuck to the pan (first time using those pans - so much for non-stick), that the layers of cake had to be mended with lemon spread and then assembled. Then putting the icing on - lets just say it required a lot of hot water and patience. After a small little fire in the kitchen, we sat down to a nice dinner. I would say Griffin enjoyed his first taste of chocolate.

The birthday theme was getting Griffin up walking. Daddy could not resist the dump truck, Griffin loves to make the horn honk on it. Yes Griffin is up walking on furniture and would rather stand than crawl. He is keeping us busy.
