Happy Birthday to Nana and Ian

The guests of honor
Ian showing early signs of pyromania
Now a lesson in 1st birthday cake eating,
demonstrated by our own birthday boy.
Step one: Clear the cake of icing.
Step two: Eat two fists full at a time.
Step three: Show your audience your accomplishment.
Look at Nana in the background.
She's impressed!
Step Four: Go after the bowl. In this case, it actually is edible.
Now Nana is concerned.
Here's Uncle Brent with the older kids. When Ayden saw this picture he said that he was Blue Spiderman, Laney was Pink Spiderman, and Kota was Green Spiderman, which tells me they were having a good time together!

Josh's Aunt Becki was hosting a party for Nana's birthday, so we asked if we could celebrate Ian's too. Of course she said that would be great, and it was! We had a nice time outdoors in Mandeville. The weather was cool, but not too cold. Poppy grilled burgers and hot dogs and we had lots of snack foods and side dishes. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Nana didn't want any gifts, but everyone got something for Ian. We really appreciate all of the gifts, y'all! Thank you, and we love you!!!

Happy Birthday Ian! Can you believe our babies are 1 already?!
Time goes by so fast.
By the way I love your new van. I never thought I'd want one either but I'd kill to have a new one and get rid of my civic!
