My brothers (and sister-in-law) decided to all come and visit so we worked it out that they would all be here for Joaquin's first birthday. It was so much fun having all of my siblings here! My cousin Jordan also happened to be in town so he was able to join us for the festivities as well. We also invited Detroit's friend Noelle and her mom, Mary. We had quite a crowd! We only wish Jared could have been here too. We will just have to do another 1st birthday party when we get to Roswell!
The Birthday Boy:
Since we had an Elmo party, Joaquin had to have an Elmo birthday hat. Elmo is truly one of the cutest creatures out there and lucky for us, my brother Cameron can do his voice perfectly. It was like Elmo was actually at the party!
Detroit loved helping Joaquin open his presents. In fact she volunteered to do it for the next few years.
The whole family (minus Jared):
Grandpa, Jordan, Mom & Joaquin, Cameron, Michelle
Grandma, Brett, Detroit, Ryan & Natalie
Everybody's Party Faces:
Grandpa
Natalie & Ryan
Grandma, Jordan & Brett
Noelle & Mary
Cameron

Time to Blow Out the Candles:
(of course, Detroit was kind enough to help)
The Party Cake & Joaquin's Elmo Cake
I made Joaquin's cake and I was quite proud of the end results!
Joaquin and His Cake:
The Bath in the Kitchen Sink:
In creating a RED cake, I completely did not think about what it would look like when Joaquin was finished. It was too bad we did not have yellow crime scene tape because the end results were quite gruesome (and hilarious) ... POOR ELMO!

That really does look like a crime scene! Good job on the cute Elmo cake Tiesha. I love the "bath in the sink" photo!
I'm glad that the family picture shows the front row as pasty whities and the back row looks like they have been man-tanning for years.
Hey, I didn't realized Joaquin's birthday is in May and a year old already! Looks like a fun party. Apparently your family likes to give the thumbs up. :)
