1 Year Old! Tennessee vacation Aug. 11-18, 2009

I went to see the mountains for the first time in Tennessee! This is on top of the Roan Mountain, near Elizabethton. What a great setting for my first birthday, a family reunion, & my great-aunt & great-uncle's 50th wedding anniversary! I did well on the two day car ride to get there. Enjoyed seeing friends in Georgia along the way!

Here I am with my birthday cake--showing off that I learned to blow! Mommy & Papa helped blow out the candle when it came time. My great-aunt hosted my party. Another great-aunt made my cake . . . & yet another great-aunt took part in decorating it! What a family affair!

At first I didn't want to try my cake. When I started playing with the animal toys from the top of the cake, I tasted something VERY GOOD! I decided right on the spot to learn how to feed myself with a spoon! One spoon became two--well, a growing boy must eat!!! I never had cake before my birthday! Mommy got about six bite-sized spoons of ice cream for me too!

I got lots of new toys. I probably doubled my toy collection!

Here we go on another two day drive to get home! I got to see more family in Hendersonville & Nashville! I had a great trip!
