First birthday

Sometime in the night, this little boy will turn one! It is kind of strange that he doesn't have an actual birthday this year (or for the next 2 years). I'll be glad when tomorrow is here because then he will be officially one. We had a little get together last night with our immediate families. Our little house couldn't fit any more people than that, so please don't feel bad if you weren't invited.


We had birthday cake. Of course there was a lot of help from brother. He knows how these things work. After all, he has had 2 birthdays, you know!

Corbin had his own cake. Wouldn't you know the only tiny cake that the bakery had was chocolate. He had fun once he got going. Check out the collage, it shows the progression of mess. I was happy that he wasn't interested in spreading it all over himself. It made my clean up job much easier.


We opened presents...lots of presents. Everyone was so generous. Thanks for loving our little boy! It has been like Christmas all over again.
Again, we had lots of help from Bridger. He was the polite one and thanked everyone for the present as it was opened. I think he thought if he did that then he could play with the toys, no questions asked.

Here are some shots of the guests. We had about 24 people (including babies) in our little house. It was so fun to see everyone and watch the kids all play together. Thanks everyone for taking the time to come celebrate Corbin.

What a great party! I am a little sad that we weren't invited. Phooey on your little house. . . . I think Andrea looks so cute lately. I look at her pictures on Facebook sometimes. We need to get that girl a man! (That is, unless she doesn't have one already.) Your boys are the cutest. And, it does seem like you were just announcing that you had him. Congratulations on making it through a year with 2 kids. It only gets easier from here. Until you decide to have a 3rd. Wowwweeee that will be me in a couple months! How am I going to do it?

Happy Birthday Corbin. I thought about him today and yesterday. He is kind of lucky that he can celebrate his b-day on whatever day and you always have an extra day to celebrate.
