Yesterday we had a small family gathering to honor Braxton's First Year. Earlier in the week Nana, Papa and Aunt Yvonne came over for dinner and cake. Then yesterday Nonnie and Pop and Grandma and Grandpa came over to partake in lunch and the birthday cake. In keeping with the firstborn's first birthday, (and because EVERYONE says Braxton is going to play football- yep even total strangers at Wal-mart chime in with their opinion after they ask his age) we did the never-boring Gator Theme!
And we all wore the appropriate gear to celebrate in style. So let the MAIN EVENT begin...
Happy Birthday to you...
Hey guys...I LOVE this cake...I mean the icing...it's pretty yummy...
He's trying to get every last lick. (Braxton has Mommy's tongue- but most EVERYTHING else is Daddy's. He is a Daddy CLONE. Daddy said, "About time one of them looks like me!")
After we had removed the cake Evan asked when we were going to put the hat on Braxton. DUH- so Mommy put it on and snapped a few pictures with "this dumb hat". Immediately you could tell he was not a fan of the hat...
AND then it was gift time and this was by far a favorite...for ALL the boys. (from ages 7-1 years...you get out a hammer and some balls and they all want to play with it!)
How sweet is that huddle!
Happy Birthday Smiley - Be Strong in the Lord!
WE LOVE YOU!
