Happy First Birthday, Bear!

Today, we headed over to the McWhorter's house for lunch to celebrate Bear's First Birthday!

Everyone had such a great time. Josh and Vanessa really threw on a big spread- Josh's signature pork butt, macaroni & cheese, cole slaw, chips, and all the BBQ fixins. All their family was there, as well as a lot of Bear and Lily's friends. It was a bunch of kids! All the kids had such a good time and played so well together.


I cannot believe Bear is one! It seems like just a few months ago that he was born. I remember holding him for the longest time at Joey and Jessica's wedding reception last December, and he was such a little baby! Now, he's a big boy- and he is a great kid. Always smiling, especially for the camera! Katie Anne just loves him and talks about him (and Lily, of course) all the time.

He had a blast at his party! He was happy-go-lucky the entire afternoon, playing around and eating his cake. That boy ATE some cake! He had it all over his face and hands. He looked like a little baby with a Smurf beard.

Playing with balloons with Brodie...

Oh, Brodie takes a cheap shot!
