They Say It's Your Birthday

We had a fun American-themed birthday party for Cole on Nov. 4. I couldn't resist, what with it being Election Day and all. Thanks to all who came and helped-we missed everyone who couldn't make it! Cole has enjoyed all his many presents (thanks again) and is still enthralled by the ever-shrinking balloons that fill the corners of our living room. It seems so weird that it's already been a year. But it has been an eventful one! Happy birthday little guy-we sure are glad we have you!

He wasn't quite sure what to do with the cake. I tried to coerce him into eating it, with no luck.

The magical balloons-the gift that keeps on giving

Singing 'Happy Birthday'-he looks a little unsure, don't you think?

OK, that's all for now. Two posts in one night is plenty!!

Halloween......

OK, I know this is just a tad late, but I wanted to post some pics from Halloween. Cole was dressed up as a plump pumpkin. He was so cute! However, the fleece and cotton was a bit too hot for him, and he was DONE by the end of the night. Here are the promised pictures:

We went and surprised Aunt Marci at USU.

All in all, it was a fun day. Cole was a little unsure about the whole thing, but he caught on to the idea pretty quick. The only he didn't get was putting the candy in the treat bag. Whenever someone would hand him a piece of candy, he would throw it on the floor. Silly boy!
