He's ONE!


I don't know where the year went. Our buddy (aka Carter) is officially one and running all over the place. Here are some pictures from his 1st birthday bash. I have to say that I love 1st birthday parties. It is so fun to see the babies reaction to the presents, the cake, and all that attention. Carter did not dissapoint. He loved all the attention, reacted to his gifts by clapping his hands and throwing his arms up in delight (seriously--he cracks us up), and and was shocked that we really let him have a whole cake and kept waiting for us to snatch it away from him. After a few bites of it, he looked up at us and said "good" (sounded just like it). Grandma Durrant came down to the party, which was the highlight for Carter. He was delighted to have someone new to win over and show off for. He spent the night tossing balloons and playing puzzles with Grandma. It was a good time and we sure love our little buddy boy.

Carter had lots of help opening presents from a very excited sister.

He loved this puzzle from Grandma that makes noises and sings. He goes crazy clapping every time the song starts. He can't get enough of it...even weeks later!

What a great cake - I can't believe it hasn't solicited any comments.

Great work John! Very creative! I love it! You're cakes inspire me.

You're kids are sure lucky to have a dad like you.
