Smash Cake

September 16, 2014 by Aliesha

On Saturday we celebrated Jude’s first birthday with a zoo party!  I have tons of pictures to share, but I thought pictures of Jude eating his smash cake deserved a whole post!

As you can see, Jude had one thing on his mind!

He went to town on that cupcake!

 We realized soon that he was making a big mess and needed to be back in his high chair!

He was so fast he almost ate the wrapper too!

I’ve never seen a one-year-old eat a cupcake so fast!

“You guys, this is the best thing I have ever tasted!”

“This is the best birthday ever!”

More pictures to come soon from the rest of his zoo birthday party!

      That’s too funny! The girls were kind of … reticent! So we were amazed that Jude just dove right in!
