Declan's 1st Birthday!!

Declan is ONE!!

Can you believe it?  We made it, one year.  You can ask anyone I was so excited for this day to come.  I was gearing up for it weeks before.  I wanted to have a big party but since we are still waiting for spring to come, I kept it small.

We had a potluck and I had four different kinds of really good soup.  Thanks for our families for making those.  They were really good.

Present time was about what you expected he liked the bows and tissue paper more than the presents.

But we sure appreciate everyone who came and he is loving all his gifts.  Thanks!

But what we can't forget the cake time!

 Declan is ready!

We all sang to him and he was smiling back at all of us, so I know he liked that part.

Declan didn't know what to do with the cake, he was just kind of poking at it so I helped him out.

But he got the hang of it, and was slopping it up in no time.

Happy 1st Birthday Declan!!!

After all said and done, it was too much for the babe and he finally crashed.

I added a few more picture below.
