Jasper's birthday fiesta

Last weekend, we had a birthday party for Jasper at our house. Both of his sets of grandparents were there, his Great Grandpa and Great Grannie Parr, Uncle Colin, Aunt Heather, Uncle Matt and Uncle Scott. 

I made tacos and banana cupcakes for lunch. Jasper enjoyed the spicy tacos and the sugary cupcake. He even got to try ice cream for the first time.

Yummy!
Great Grandpa measured and marked Jasper on our new measuring stick. It was hard to get him to stand straight against the wall, so it might not be the most accurate measurement this year.

Lucky Jasper got lots of new toys for his birthday. He started to get the hang of tearing the wrapping paper off the presents. I think he enjoyed the paper and boxes as much as the toys.

Jasper (and many of his guests) took an afternoon nap, and then he got to enjoy trying out some of his new gifts.
Tunnel!

It was a fun day but tiring day to celebrate Jasper's first birthday. I'm glad Pat let me talk him out of a keg party birthday.
