When the Mayberry's first arrived, Joshie went straight to Nathan and tackled him. I think Joshie just wanted to prove that even though he is smaller than Nathan, he's still in charge. For the rest of their visit, Nathan kept avoiding Josh.

Nathan's birthday was a ball theme, so I made a soccer cake to go along with the theme
For those who didn't like chocolate, we also had vanilla baseball cupcakes
Around noon, chaos ensued, 18 adults 17 kids
For Nathan's birthday (and because his birthday was a ball theme), Mommy got Nathan a little ball pit (you can kind of see it in the corner)

After eating his cupcake and part of a chocolate bar (a tradition Andrew wants to start with our family), Nathan left a chocolate hand print on our bedroom door on his way back to our shower to get cleaned up
When we sang happy birthday to Nathan, he got all shy and was smiling sweetly. He was so adorable. Our camera cut off right before Nathan took a bite of the cupcake- I'm so sad! He was so cute! He spun the cupcake around a few times and then shoved it in his mouth. I was so proud. Vanessa got some pictures of him after he stuffed his face and once I get those, I'll add them to the blog.
Well, one year down, many many more to go. I love my little boy. He makes me so happy. Nathan is great too :). I really am one blessed lady.
I got some videos, too. I will try and email them to you... if I can get them small enough, along with the pics I got. Thanks for such a great time. Sorry we didn't get to hang out as much as we would have liked - maybe next time. :) Miss you all already!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Nathan. I'm so glad that V and her family got to come visit.

ReplyDeleteI remember Andrew giving Ethan a chocolate bar when he turned one! It was bigger than his head. The funniest part was the covert op that ensued - Andrew was hiding Ethan down next to him on the couch and Ethan was just going to town on the chocolate bar. I was not amused. I think I would be now but as a first-time mom and struggling as a stay-at-home mom, it wasn't funny. Now of course it's a great memory and I'm sure your kids will love looking back on these pictures too! I'm so glad you blog so many videos - feels a little more like we're there and we've actually met Nathan. Can't wait to see you guys!! Love you!
