Bennett's 1st Birthday

Bennett's birthday was May 1st, so I apologize it has taken me so long to post pictures. We had a fun little family party at our house. We BBQed burgers, unwrapped gifts, and enjoyed some cupcakes. It was great fun to get the cousins together and see them play.
We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family!
Love you guys!

I was feeling crafty so I made some birthday decorations. Each strand has pictures from every month of Bennett's first year.

Kevin & Shannon helped Bennett during gift time.
Kevin was very helpful with the opening of gifts (and describing the types of trains Bennett received) and Shannon was quite the clean-up help.

Grandpa & Grandma got Bennett this sweet boat sandbox.
I'll take some more pics when we have the sand all put in.

Bennett was pretty into the curly ribbon

AND THEN IT WAS CAKE TIME!!!!!!
(I tried my hand at some cake decorating...turned out pretty good!)

Gimme...Gimme...

"This stuff is weird. And why do I have my shirt off?"

"Wait...isn't that cake mine?"

"Here Mama, you should try some."

"You too, Daddy...it's pretty delicious."

"Yup...I could get used to this!"

"All done! Bath time!"

Happy Birthday Bennett!
What an amazing (and fast) first year. We have enjoyed every bit of being parents and cannot believe what a blessing our son is to us.
