'One'derful day...

Well, our second born's 1st birthday was about 2 1/2 weeks ago and people have been asking to see pictures of the special day. Since I was sick right after that and have been playing catch up on everything that was forgotten about while I was down I have not posted anything yet. So for those who care....

On someone's birthday in our house we try to sing "Happy Birthday" and have a candle at just about every meal. This is breakfast.....

Very excitedly signing "more" over and over because he wants his pancake stack and bananas...

And apparently I was taking too long to sing Happy Birthday....

Lessons learned from birthday breakfast for child number 2....
1) Don't put a candle in warm pancakes....the pancakes will melt the candle and the pancakes will get wax all over them....needless to say I gave him other pancakes to eat :)
2) Sing Happy Birthday incredibly fast

Later in the day my wonderful hubbs took half of the day off work and met us for lunch at Chick-Fil-A (LOVE this place because it is incredibly kid friendly). The boys had a great time!

After the boys naps we let Pryce open his presents from us....

The bow was instant entertainment

getting the hang of unwrapping

Big brother couldn't stand not "helping" unwrap...

All Pryce wanted to do was climb on the box :)

Filling up the silo with all the animals

Later on in the evening we had a small party for Pryce. Since we've already done the big 1st  B-day before, I was kinda over it :) but still wanted to make his day special. We decided to make it a birthday/game night with friends. We did a Winter 'One'derland theme since he was born in a big snowstorm last year.

Having a snack before the party and loving his balloons

One of a kind just like a snowflake :) Amazing shirt made my talented friend Carrie of Cuckoo Caboodle

I used a crinkled paper bag for the back triangle

We did "sweets and treats"...oreo balls and white donut holes (snowballs), white cheese ball and crackers, cupcakes, and blue, white and brown candy

Epsom salt, burlap ribbon, jute twine, rusted metal snowflake



We served white grape shower punch and did a hot cocoa bar for drinks

An army of penguins to greet our guests(and take home with them)...so cute!

Happy after his cupcake and crackers!

loving the attention from everyone :)

playing with balloons the next morning :)

And there ya have it. We had a 'ONE'derful time celebrating and fellowshipping with great friends! Still can't believe he is already one. I am soaking up rocking him and getting baby kisses while I can, because I know it just keeps going faster and faster.....
