First Birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's!

Jeremy's birthday started off on the right foot with (syrup-less) birthday waffles! After a lazy day of napping, eating, and playing with the percussion set our friend Karisa gave him (below), Jeremy decided it was time to head to his Chuck E. Cheese's birthday party.

12 of his closest friends (as Ryan says, "that he didn't know he had") and 20 of our friends braved the snowy weather to celebrate his big day!

The party started with major playtime for all the kids (and most of my adult friends, too). Chuck E. Cheese's has an awesome Toddler Zone where everything is Jeremy-sized!

Before we headed to Jer's party, he had 10 ounces of milk, and when we got there, he had a 6 ounce container of baby food. During the party, he still had two whole pieces of pizza. That's more than most of the 6 and 7 year olds ate!!!

In fact, we used pizza to direct his attention appropriately the whole night!

Jeremy liked Chuck E. and the birthday show.

Jeremy had chocolate cake for the first time, and let's just say he's a fan.

He went into a loopy 'sugar coma' afterwards; it actually freaked me out for a while. I don't think I'll be giving him cake again any time soon. We put him in his crib at 7:30, but we heard him detoxing (talking to himself) in his crib until about 9.

His favorite part of his party was his balloon.

This morning before Stake Conference, he played with all his toys, and it looked like Christmas morning!

As much fun as his birthday was, we're getting to celebrate two more times: once with Grandma Zonda/Grandpa Cliff and once with Grandma Carol/Grandpa Chris! He's a very lucky little boy!

Happy First Birthday, Jeremy!
