Birthday Hugs are the Very Best Kind

Posted by Picasa

One year ago our baby pterodactyl screeched into this world and since then we have not stopped smiling. We are so lucky to have this awesome little man in our lives and we have so many friends and family members who shared this special day with us.

Of course we had a 7-eleven themed party with slurpees, hot dogs, nacho cheese sauce and birthday cake. The resident artist (Daddy) welcomed guests with some chalk art and he also decorated the birthday cake. The cake took a whole household to make, Mommy baked, Great Uncle Jimmy made icing and Grandpa helped with the bases.

Owen got spoiled with lots of great gifts. And yes, he liked the wrapping paper the best. But after we cleaned it up, he shared his toys with cousin Stone and they played with everything. Owen loves hammers and he got two - which he carried around all afternoon.

Then we had cake! Owen was not shy, he enjoyed our modified version of the happy birthday song, from the Pooh balloon Ryan brought him in the hospital when he was born (we got another one this year). The mini cake was just Owens size and he dug right in, licking the icing off the cake and going at it face first. He is such a ham, that when people laughed it just egged him on and he started getting icing everywhere.

We hope everyone had as good a time as we had and we are so thankful that everyone came all the way out to celebrate with us!
