Olivia and Gryffin thoroughly enjoyed their first birthday party this past Sunday at Walker park with all of our family. It is a great spot for a party and the weather was awesome. It wasn't too hot or humid as it usually is in August. I've been bored with the standard picnic food for a while now so we had the party a little early and served coffee, bagels and cream cheese,sausages and a make-your-own-fruit, yogurt and granola parfait bar. Aunt Aubrey made her famous homemade chocolate cupcakes as well. Everyone had a great time and it was a little more relaxing for me than most of the parties I've thrown in the past.
Here's Olivia looking adoringly at her daddy for sneaking her cupcake number one before we even sang Happy Birthday.
Gryffin wasn't really sure what to think of the cupcakes. He didn't eat very much of it.
Olivia after cupcake number two looks over sugared and over tired. She ate both cupcakes entirely. Her appetite is insatiable!
Hunter, my little brother Noah, and my niece Nadia were the only kids at the party. My sister Emily's three kids are visiting their grandparents in North Carolina right now so they missed the fun time in the creek.
As usual, it was impossible to pry Hunter from the creek for anything. He would live there if he could.
Gryffin and Olivia both took well to present time. It tends to get overwhelming for most but they were pleased with their new things and played with them all afternoon.
Olivia was particularly fond of this cute little puppet from Aunt Danae.
What a cute little present!
Gryffin would have been happy with just a box full of plasticware.
Neat and tidy Gryff...messy and chocolatey Livie
Let's go home and take a nap, Daddy!
