Saturday, January 30, we had his party at my Mom's house. As with anything Bryan and Ashley do, something has to happen. They got married in the middle of a huge snow/ice storm. Most of Garber was without power but somehow the church they were getting married in had power at least until it was over. Tad is carrying on this family tradition. The day before Tad's birthday party it snowed and snowed and snowed. Unfortunately, Ashley's family was coming from Laverne and Erik(sp) and because of the snow they were unable to make it. We missed them and wish they could have made it.
The gang there that day was Tad (of course), Bryan and Ashley, my Mom and Dad, Gigi and Poppa, Ben and Angie, Ryan and I, Jacob, Uncle Alan, Aunt Christy and Suzanne, Uncle Horace and Aunt Jan, and Lisa. I think that was everyone.
The day was so much fun and I think Tad had a blast. Below are some pictures of the day.
Below: I was writing in Tad's card and he decided he would add his own little message.
Below: Tad was trying to get into his presents early. You can see where he has tried to start unwrapping the gift he is sitting on.
Below: Okay... so you won't let me open them, then I will just stand on them.
Below: Gigi (Grandma Lou) makes an awesome chocolate cake. Ashley loves it so much that she chose that to be Tad's first birthday cake. Gigi made a small cupcake for him and a sheet cake for the rest of us. As you can tell he is taking after his Daddy and enjoyed the fire.
