Lucas rips into his first birthday present early on in the party. It was an outdoor present (basketball set) so we decided to open it and let the bigger kids use it outside. There was an 80% chance of rain today, and it was overcast throughout the whole party, but the gods smiled upon Lucas today and held the rain back so we were able to do outside stuff. Good thing too since 30 some odd kids and adults don't fit all that well into the first floor of our townhouse.
Lucas's party was an Elmo-themed party. We drove down to Syracuse last weekend and bought over $100 worth of Elmo-related party decorations. In the picture below, Lucas's birthday cake is on the right, and his "smash cake" is on the left. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, the smash cake is the cake given to the birthday boy (or girl). They can then proceed to destroy it as they see fit.
Speaking of cake destruction, here's a pictorial of that event. First, Lucas examines the victim as Marilu brings it before him.
This leads to a tentative desecration of Elmo's mouth.
And this is followed shortly thereafter by Lucas feeding on poor Elmo.
These next two pictures are priceless. Lucas flashes his "say cheese!" grin while annihilating the remains of Elmo.
I was going to show more, but that's taken longer than I expected. As such, enjoy for now, and I'll try to post more tomorrow. Ta-ta!

Happy birthday Lucas! When I look at the pictures of you with cake all over your face it reminds me of your daddy back in college when we'd eat at this place called the Stone Turtle. :)
