The bash for Dash

Yesterday we threw a first birthday party for Dash. It was a surprise party only in the sense that damn near everything comes as a surprise to a one-year old. About 20 people came to usher in Dash's toddlerhood (plus Uncle Bozo and Aunt Dianne on Skype).

The day started with Daddy, Granny Pokey, and Dash making a Voodoo Donuts run first thing in the morning. The line, as always, was out the door and down the block.



During the party, Daddy was unfortunately too busy playing host to take many photos. Dash received many amazing gifts, and truly enjoyed himself the entire time.





Good thing Mommy asked Daddy to take a picture of the cake.


Mommy helped Dash blow out the candle.


After most of the guests left, Dash got to spend some quality time with Cousin Ronan.



It was brought to our attention that Dash has apparently developed a reputation as the kid who pulls everyone's hair. (One friend commented that her small son asked, on the way to the party, "Is Dash gonna pull my hair again?") As a frequent victim, Daddy is in no position to dispel such accusations. Here's Dash, caught red-handed.

What a party! I can't believe Dash is a year old already. As Andrew said, loved the pictures of Dash and Ronan.

It's pretty amazing that Dash and Ronan know there's a special connection between them. Dash gets more excited to see Ronan than just about anyone else. And yes, it was fun. Sorry you couldn't all be here, but we'll do some AZ partying.
