Birthday Photo Shoot, Part 1

Several weeks ago, we went on a photo shoot.  And because I can't decide which pictures to post, because I'm biased and think my child is the cutest kid in the world, I'm going to post most of them...in parts.  Bear with me.  Proud Mother.

 Look!  A slide!  YES!!

 I'm done, guys.  I don't want to do this anymore.

 Ok, fine.  I'll try to look cute.

 See, look what I can do!

 Here--have the hat!

 Really?  MORE pictures?

 Greg LOVES the red wagon.  I've been hunting for one to use when we get our own home.

 Ok, so this one was just a funny face he makes.

 I like this one.

Looks like a repeat, huh?  So pulling the hat off became quite the game. ;-)

I saved the cutest ones for the next post.

Smiles!

First Birthday Party, Dr. Seuss Edition

On Saturday, December 22, 2012, at about 10:30 a.m., a curious visitor came to town.  He had heard that there was a special little boy turning 1, you see.

The Cat in the Hat!  He brought plenty of party guests...

Played lots of games, like...

 Apples up on top...

 Thing 1 and Thing 2 handprints...

 

 And pin the trunk to Horton (which Uncle Michael drew for us)...

 The Cat in the Hat created lots of chaos, listened while Grammy read books, and entertained the whole crowd. 

Then there was the food!  Oh, that food!

 Name tags,

 Cat in the Hat pizza,

 Grickle Grass (green beans--Greg's favorite food),

 One Fish, Two Fish,

 Pink Ink Yink Drink (Pink lemonade),

 Who-Hash,

 Bar-Ba-Loots,

 Truffula Fruit,

 And cake!

 Thing 1, the birthday boy, was in total awe of the cake.

 He wanted to grab it...

 He always refuses new food, but Mommy popped a bite in, amidst the crying, and...

 He attacked it!

 Next, came presents!  Poor Thing 1 was sick that day and not hugely interested.  He couldn't figure out why we kept tearing paper (usually a "no-no"), and then taking toys away just to repeat the process.

 All done, and quietly looking at the book, since the Cat in the Hat took most of the chaos away.

A fun day was had by all!

Smiles!!
