Happy 1st Birthday Isaac!

My little guy will be 1 tomorrow- but we celebrated on Sunday afternoon. Isaac invited his good friends, Spencer, Evan, and Hampton. All of the babies brought their parents and Evan and Spencer brought their older siblings. We had a dinosaur themed party complete with a Wilton dinosaur cake...handmade by me! We also had champagne cocktails (for the mommies) and lots of treats and snacks for the small people. Sid hung a new chandelier in the dining room the night before the party. Isn't it pretty? Here Sid and Neal discuss the chandelier and all of the changes we've made to the house since we bought it. Neal and his wife bought a house at the same time we bought ours and they actually walked through this one- but chose another. We are so glad they have different tastes!

I had a plate set out for everyone to autograph. We did the same thing at Grace's first birthday. I look forward to hanging them together.






My second Wilton cake. I am going to try and make them a tradition...they take so much time!




Spencer and Hampton play with, disassemble, and then try to repair the ball blower.





Grace and her posse drink "lemonlade" from their T-Rex bobblehead cups (how cool are those things?) and strategize on how to acquire more cake, ice cream and candy. Whatever they decided worked.






Nana, Grace, Winks (preschool class pet- home for just the weekend) and Isaac eat oranges and read magazines together on Sunday morning - pre-party.







Nana and Sid hangin' at the birthday bash.
Little Evan and Daddy Paul talk about why beer can only be consumed once Evan turns 21. Evan was born on New Year's Eve...do you think he will wait until he is 21 to drink beer? Hmmm?
Isaac eating pizza and wondering why all of these people are at the house. Me taking hundreds of photos is, however, not alarming to him.

He was so excited when he saw his cake- or maybe it was the fire he liked- anyhow, I got teary eyed during the singing of "Happy Birthday." My last baby is a toddler now. What happened!?
Grace threatens to eat the cake if Isaac doesn't get serious with the task at hand.
Isaac decides to touch the cake instead. That color of green is a bit concerning.


Isaac sticks a glob of ice cream in his mouth and then discovers it is really cold.
He takes after me with the ice cream thing. We both prefer some ice cream over cake any day.
