Ben's First Birthday

Today we were thrilled to celebrate our littlest man!
I picked Lily up early from school so that she could help me decorate.It was nice to spend the afternoon with her.  We did our last minute grocery store run and then wrapped presents, prepared food, and decorated.  She blew up a whole bag of balloons for us- our balloon confetti inside & outside- impressive & fun.
The outside table- I thought it turned out cute with stuff I just sorta threw up there- blue wrapping from our silent auction basket- and really fun balls that Aunt Becky sent (she really is the best gift giver!).  Lily could hardly stand having to wait to blow those party horns!
 I made/sewed this banner this week.
 The kid crew (missed you, Andrews!)
 And the birthday boy himself!
 And it ain't no party without a Dr Dennis adventure!
We've been spying on a snapping turtle in the creek behind our house- Paw pulled it out for us.  It was quite the entertainment for the kids- esp the ones who hadn't experienced Paw's shenanigans.
 Goo provided bubbles that became light sabers.
 Time for cake!
 Doting Parents!
 Gift time!
We gave him a water table (had always wanted one!)
And his fave gift was from sweet AR.
He got his "toy bin" from Goo and a fun dino/turtle (appropriate!) ball toy from Maw.
It was so fun to celebrate our little man.  Perfect weather to be outside and enjoy a spring evening with parents and friends!!
