Dresden's and Josh's Bday Party

On Sunday we had a family dinner/birthday party for Josh and Dresden.  Everyone really pitched in and helped make some wonderful food.  Josh's parents also were so kind in letting us use their house.  Heaven forbid if we tried to fit and feed that many people in our house, we would be bursting!  Kattie got some great pictures of Dresden opening his presents.  I think regardless of the camera, Josh and I are cursed when it comes to picture taking.

Josh took a sneak picture of our cute little niece playing the piano.  

Dresden was frightened by the singing and candles.  He started crying in the middle of Happy Birthday.

I made him a chocolate pudding tart instead of cake.  I think he liked it.

Okay, I think he REALLY liked it. He shoved the whole pastry in his mouth after licking off all the pudding and whipped cream.



She was licking her plate.

We had to take off his clothes to open presents.  Pudding and presents do not mix... most of the time.

Creepy?  Very much so.

Stud-ly

We realized quickly that Dresden does NOT like tissue paper

I have no words to describe this face.

Someone else was enjoying the new toys.

There must be residue pudding in there somewhere!

Happy Birthday to Our Little Boy - A Year in Photos

Today is our Dresden's FIRST Birthday.  Josh and I are so grateful for this little boy and the spirit he brings into our home.  We love him with all our heart.  He is truly special and we know he is meant for great things.  What a better way to celebrate than a montage of photos from this past year to show how much he has changed!

He was smiling at 3 weeks old.
