Juju Bear is one year old!

To celebrate our baby boy turning a year old, we decided to have a cookout and invite a few friends and family. Uncle John dropped by for awhile, and some of our homeschooling friends joined us.


Sunshine made a crown for her brother, and we dubbed him "King Juju of the Jungle."


Juju would not take his nap today. Everytime I got him to sleep, he woke right back up. By the time we got around to the cake, he wanted no part of it.


We got him an ice cream cake, and his Daddy had to get him started on it.


Then he figured out, "Hey, this is GOOD!"


Then he decided to dig in for himself.


Mama couldn't resist getting him retro toys for his birthday. Do y'all remember those phones? I loved playing with those! Juju's siblings enjoy his toys, too, and I have remind them not to hog them. ;-)


Grandma and Grandpa also came down the next day to visit with the birthday boy.
