Happy St. Patty's Day

From my Hooligans to yours!!

A Hoppin' Good Time

Today we had Drew's 1st birthday party with all of the family and friends here. It was a party with a Frog theme to match his baby room. So...the house was decorated with blue and yellow streamers because I couldn't find green...seriously, it's March...who doesn't have green streamers everywhere???? The cake had a cute little frog on it. And all of the party favors were bath towels with boy and girl frogs embroidered on them. I'll have to post a picture...they were so cute.
It was the standard 1st birthday party. We had pizza, some fruit, a salad and drinks for lunch. All the kids did a frog coloring craft or puzzle. Drew opened some cute birthday presents. He got a car racer and some nerf balls. He got some fuzzy cars to roll around the house. All perfect little things for a boy. After the presents, we sang happy birthday and ate cake. Because we had a small family party on his birthday, Drew was well versed in the smashing of the cake. He sat joyously in his seat for close to an hour and chowed down on his yummy cake. By the end of the party, he was covered in icing and enjoying every minute of it.
Be sure to visit the Shutterfly site to see all the pictures from the party. Here are a few to get you started.

Happy Birthday Drew!!

When we brought Drew home from the hospital last year, I was tempted to end his blog because the original intent of the blog was to document the pregnancy. And then someone convinced me that I should keep it for one year to post all of the fun things about Drew's first year. There are so many new things that a baby accomplishes in a year that it seemed logical not to fill the family blog with so much info about Drew and nothing about the rest of us. So, I kept the blog going for the first year. Now that Drew has hit his one year old birthday, it is time to incorporate his daily happenings with the rest of the family in our blog. So, from this day forward, Drew's blog will no longer have updates or postings. All of his fun stories will be posted right here with the rest of the family stories.
And...for his first posting...let's just say Happy 1st Birthday Baby Boy!!! May you have many more to celebrate!! We love you!!
