Gunner Chalfant's 1st Birthday

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Our grandson Gunner's first birthday was yesterday 8/16/08. Brandan & Crystal had a birthday party at their apartment. We gave Gunner a Radio Flyer Trike & some clothes. He loved the trike, even though he isn't quite big enough to ride it yet. The best part is that it has a removable handle so Mom or Dad can push him around until he is big enough to ride by himself.

Brandan BBQ'd beef ribs, chicken & some yellow fin tuna his neighbor had just caught off the coast of San Diego. Brandan is a great cook.

After eating & opening gifts, Gunner had his first birthday cake. At first he didn't quite know what to do with it, but once he got started, he had a great time. By the time he as done, he had blue frosting everywhere, including his ears. There was a 2nd cake for all the grownups to share.

Finally most everyone (except Grandpa & the Grandma's) went swimming. Gunner got too cold & wanted out after just a minute or two.

Everyone had a great time. Afterwards we went over to Mom & Dad's house to wish Dad a Happy Birthday as well.

Happy Birthday to the both of you.
