It's tradition on the one year birthday to make a classic yellow cake with chocolate frosting and give a good portion of it to the birthday kid with a scoop of ice cream. We take a before and after shot. Usually, it makes for a good scrapbook page with chocolate frosting covering the face and plastered in the hair. But Luke wanted nothing to do with either the cake or ice cream. He just looked at both...touched the chocolate frosting a couple of times...and was content to wait for us to get him down. Just to give you an idea of how far we've come as parents ~ Mark (our first born) was pretty much the same way. But Karen and I were not satisfied so we put cake all over his face and hair to make a good photo op. We did a lot of things to Mark that we have learned from! I won't go into details for fear of child services coming across our blog. :) 
It was a great Sunday! We watched General Conference, took a family walk to enjoy the Fall weather, and celebrated a wonderful year of Luke's life on this earth. We're so glad you joined our family, Luke!
