The Festivities

For Kellen's birthday we decided it would be easiest and most fun to just do something at the house. I was feeling a bit burnt out on parties at the park and with a 1 year old it seemed he would be most content getting to play with toys and run around outside. We decided to get a jumper, which was a huge hit...for the kids and the adults. I don't know who had more fun...either way, it entertained everyone quite well! Kellen had a great time, soaked up all the attention, didn't disappoint one bit with his cake and has loved all his new birthday loot. It was a fun day and a great way to celebrate or baby leaving behind the year of infant life and embracing toddlerhood. Watch out world...here he comes.
Birthday boy and Sissy Roo warmin up the jumper in the morning before friends arrive!

Pa and the Grandbabies bouncing away!
My 1 year old...I know he is the size of a 2 year old, but I still can't believe he is already 1 year old! What happened to my baby?
Taking a break from the wild party for a quick baba and cuddle time with Papa.

He stares while we sing Happy Birthday...
Goes in for a taste. Sort of sucks the frosting off while he remains unsure of what to do with his hands...
Decides there's is no reason to be shy with the cake....
Lets just pick the whole thing up!
Kellen VS Cake.....Kellen wins!
Or maybe the cake won...depends on how you look at it.

That is one happy Birthday Boy. And he even kept it all down. Way to go you stud!

Grammy with Baby Brooke who appears to be deep in thought.
Classic Pa!


KC's approach at time out when kids get bouncing a little too out of hand :0)
Even Daddy joined in on the bouncing fun...once everyone left. But hey, I have the proof!


Happy Birthday Kellen Boy. We love you!

Looks like everyone had a great time ! I can't figure out which I like better, Kellen after he's destroyed the cake or the look on Todd's face !

The bouncy was a hit, glad you had it but sad I could not enjoy it :( Maybe we need to just buy one?
