Happy Birthday Connor-Man!!

Yesterday was Connor's 1st birthday! He's grown up SO much! He has one of the cutest smiles ever, he loves to play with his toys & with Parker, the girls love to "mommy" him, Matt loves when Connor crawls over to "tackle" him & I love to snuggle with my little guy! He is so sweet, so patient & just fits into our family so perfectly!


We had a pretty laid back celebration! School was cancelled for the girls because of bad weather, so we made it a fun day at home...the girls helped me color a birthday poster for Connor, then Parks helped me make & frost cupcakes! When Matt got home from work, we had dinner, opened the presents & then we chomped on the cupcakes...here's some pictures!
Connor wasn't so sure about the unwrapping business...he's trying to figure out why it's so exciting!...

Then he began to get the hang of it (after the older kids helped him with a few)...

Finally, he realized there were great things inside all the wrapping paper! Isn't this the cutest smile ever?!!? He has loved playing with his new trucks!!

Here come the cupcakes!....Connor was a little mesmerized by the fire....

Enjoying the good stuff! That's definitely a smile hiding behind his hand....he ate all the frosting first & then started on the cupcake part...just like his older sisters & brother!!

Thank you to everybody who sent well wishes & gifts! We hope you know how much they are appreciated!!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Connor-Man!! We love you!!

I am the worst aunt ever! I have had the hardest time remembering birthdays this last year! I'm so glad that he had such a fun day. That first year is loads of fun for the family! He is so adorable. SO, is there any chance you guys will be able to come down between about May 17th until around the 28th or so? We're for sure coming for a wedding! :) It would be great to see you again... but we understand if funds make it impossible. Love you guys and Happy Birthday Conner-Man!

Totally spelled the name wrong... Connor-man... I told you I'm a horrible aunt!

So fun! I love first birthdays. Sounds like the perfect one, since the kids got to stay home all day to be with him!
