I can’t believe that my son is now one. It seems like just yesterday I was finalizing his nursery and just this weekend we celebrated with a camping cake smash! I was hoping to take the family camping, but with good ole South Dakota weather, you never know if it is going to be warm enough or a little too brisk to go out in May.

Instead, we stuck close to home and enjoyed a private cake smash session and then celebrated with the family over the weekend with hot dogs and hamburgers.

At his camping cake smash, James was clearly more enthused about the rug until he realized that the cake was something he could eat. As soon as he discovered that the “campfire” was edible, he dove right in and didn’t look back.

One thing about James – he is a very messy eater. Usually when he gets done, there’s food in his hair, under his bum, and pretty much everywhere in between.

Everyone had a lot of fun. It was great to see James get so excited. I am still so shocked it’s been a year, and I cannot wait to see how much more he grows.

Cake smashing is the act of simply destroying a cake… let’s make memories together!
