We celebrated Walker's first birthday this afternoon!
delicious cupcakes, made by my friend Jessica
'Tis the season for Girl Scout Cookies...
Ben created a slideshow of pictures from Walker's first year of life. We enjoyed watching it, and I even got a little emotional.
Walker and Lainey's second cousin, Thomas
Adorable.
A bit of sass? I think so.

"Can I play with this balloon? Please?"
Big Mommy mistakes of the afternoon:
1) giant mylar balloon, affixed to the back of Walker's chair, came precariously close to the flame on the candle
2) the placemat, upon which the cupcake and said candle were perched, was apparently placed too close to the birthday boy

Not a huge fan of his cupcake...notice how clean he is!

Yay for beautiful weather...!
Great-Grandmother and Great-Grandfather, watching the kids
Collin was so sweet to play soccer with Lainey. She wanted him to kick the ball back and forth with her. :)
Cally
He's so excited to have the playhouse all to himself.

Lainey comforted a sad Ella who didn't want to leave the party.
The conversation went something like this:
Lainey: "Ella, it's time for you to go home. Your mommy said it's time to go. It be okay, Ella. You be a good listener. You listen to your mommy or you might get a pop.
Cally and your mommy go home with you."
Ella: "I don't want to go home."
Lainey: "It be okay, Ella."
These two crack me up. Ella did eventually go home with her mom and sister. :)

Precious! Love Walker's bib and the cupcakes turned-out adorable! Yay - Walker's 1!
What a fun 1st birthday! I hope it was everything you'd hoped for and more. Walker is precious! And Lainey is such the big girl. I can't believe how fast she's maturing into a beautiful young lady! Get ready, dad!
