Look who had a birthday!


YEAH, I AM ONE!!!

He started out very hesitant just playing with the frosting until Mack put a taste of it on his tongue and then he realized that this was HIS kind of snack...

Just like the two boys before him, Callan does not want to keep the
enormous cake hat on his head.

The birthday boy in all his birthday glory!



the cake festivities

For some reason First birthdays are important to me and both Mack and Creed were able to be surrounded by family on their big days, so I was disappointed that Callan wouldn't have the same support for his. But then it occurred to me that I have always been blessed with good friends. It doesn't matter where we have lived we always have these special friends who become like family, because we end up spending more time with them than our own families who live so far away.
So once I decided to invite our great neighborhood friends over and celebrate
I didn't feel so bad at all...

Callan and his posse...
Chase, Collin, and Jacob

cupcakes and ice cream, check.
pin the tail on the donkey, check.

Great last minute birthday party for my SWEET CAL, CHECK!
