His eyes look so blue here

I love that crooked grin

His pirate smirk

Laughing at Adam

Happy First Birthday Alden!!!

Today was officially Alden's first birthday. We had a pretty low key day. Nothing too exciting. The birthday boy did dine on cheesy chicken and ice cream!! Thanks to all for the presents and cards. Mrs. Suzanne showed up here this morning with prizes for both boys. Thanks to Aunt Karin and Aunt Janet for more treats as well. Adam still thinks it's his birthday as well. We're so blessed to have so many who love us and shower us with their affection (and the presents are great too!). I can't wait for to see what the next year brings (in a good way, that is :)

Adam was exhausted after all of the festivities as well.

One last picture from the birthday party on Sunday. The leftover cake after Alden's attack!

The table is set. All we need is our guests for Alden's first birthday party!!!

Ready for a party!

My handsome boys!

The boys ready to start the party!!

Adam sneaking tastes of the big cake while we're watching Alden eat his.

Here's a picture of the cakes. I made one for the Alden and one for the rest of us!  

Alden's cake before the attack! 

Listening to everyone sing "Happy Birthday" and looking at his cake.  

Ready to blow out the candle. That is the same candle I had on Adam's first birthday cake.
