We had the best time having a party for JT’s first birthday at the beach. We invited JT’s grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends for a barbecue. The kids got to play on the beach and on the big toys, and we all ate burgers and cupcakes and had a wonderful afternoon.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was playing around with JT’s water ski. Almost all of the kids went for a ride on in the water on the beach… except the birthday boy, who wouldn’t have any of it. Bummer! Here is our god-daughter Aly skiing.
And for those of you who are starved for video footage, here is JT while we sing Happy Birthday. As you can see, he took the whole thing very seriously!
