PARTAY!!

Last weekend we celebrated Tyler's birthday. It was so fun to do all of those 1st Birthday traditions and Tyler had a blast! Because both Gordon and I come from big families, Tyler got to celebrate twice! Once with each side of the family. That meant two cakes to dig into and he was loving it!! We only wish our WA and PA family could have been there! It was so fun to see him open gifts, dig into his first cake, and play with everyone. Thanks to everyone who came and for all of the fun toys you gave Tyler. We really appreciate you all helping us make this such a special day for him!

Nancy lent us her amazing cake decorating skills to create this awesome cake! Thanks so much Nancy!! It turned out sooo cute!



It was so fun watching Tyler interact with everyone. I think at first he was a little overwhelmed by all of the people in our house but he warmed up quickly!



He actually caught on to the whole concept of opening presents pretty quickly and has been all about playing with his new toys ever since!



He wasn't sure about blowing out the candle but he quickly figured out there was a big heap of sugar underneath it. Once we gave him a spoon, he dug right in and chowed down as long as we would let him!



I still can't believe he's a year old! Time simply flies by too quickly! I feel like before we know it he'll be asking to borrow the car keys! Thanks again to everyone who came and celebrated with us!
