Ogre's ahead!

My how time flies.  It seems like just yesterday Louise was at my front door informing me that my dear neighbor, Ann Marie had her baby 6 weeks early.  Amazingly enough, that was 1 year ago today.  Ann Marie has been planning Juderman's 1st birthday party for about 3 months now, collecting boxes for a castle way back in July!  Today was the big day and her hard work paid off.

5 minutes into the party and my little shrek is OUT!

kind of like a pin the tail on the donkey game

The onion carriage!

tapioca shrek slime!

Feed the ogre!

Dima helped with the onion carriage rides.  All I could think of the whole time is "it's a dad's life." and how much his life has changed over the past year!

The birthday boy!

he wasn't too thrilled about this!

My favorite ogre of them all...
