It's My Party!

My cozy coup from Nanny!  I love this thing! 

October 30th (yes, two weeks ago...I realize I am late on this post - I'm looking at you, Sarah Weissmann Watson) Beau celebrated his first birthday with a party with all his friends and family. He had an absolute blast. He just loves being around other kids and apparently, not unlike his mother, enjoys being the center of attention. Yes, this is an attribute he surely did not get from his dad. The ham in him is alllllll me.

Thanks, Nanny. 

 There were lots of balloons, coloring, and a bubble station that was a real hit.

Jakey enjoying the bubbles.

Aunt Natalie and the always smiling Core. Look at those baby blues! 

Mmmmmm...icing. 

Drew just taking it all in. 

"Brothers hug!"  Ok, maybe the're not brothers, but they might as well be.  However, Beau seems to be into it just a little more than Core. 

 He celebrated with his own cupcake and then...on to the presents.

Need to make sure I get it ALL in there. 

 Good Lord, that child really racked up. Apparently our friends and family are far more generous than we have ever imagined. There were so many that we've placed them in the cabinet and have been rationing them for the last few weeks. It's worked out well - every couple days he gets a new toy and it's like his birthday all over again!

My BR friend, Barrett!

Beau and his girlfriend, Kaitlyn.  Again, Beau is into the hugging and kissing a little bit more it seems. 

So, now that the birthday is out of the way...on to Christmas! 

Well THAT was a long day.  Now I can sit back and relax with a cold bottle of milk
