Birthdays are cool! I want one!!

Mac went to a birthday party for his friend Ben on Saturday. Ben goes to our church and his mom and I had a joint baby shower. Ben is six weeks older than Mac (and they've been friends since birth). The party was fun and gave us a chance to see how this first birthday thing is supposed to work.




Mac was VERY interested in the cake eating and generously offered to "help" Ben. He was able to get a little bit of frosting before getting his own piece to eat. We think it will be pretty interesting to watch Mac with his own cake.

CLick HERE to see a set of pictures from the birthday party.

Toy boxes are really fun!

So we didn't buy Mac many toys for Christmas, just a few small things. Before you get worried about him though, he received tons from friends and family so he has more than he can play with now.
What we did get him for Christmas was a toy box. I have to admit that it is partially for us so that there is a way to clean up our living room. The toys are trying to take over.
He has discovered just how fun a toy box can be. Play the slideshow to see the whole album, bear with us though because its a lot of photos. He's just so cute its hard to pick and choose.

Happy Birthday Elvis!!!

Actually today is Lolly's birthday, but Mommy says I can always remember it by Elvis.

We wanted to post some Christmas video as a surprise for Lolly, but unfortunately our Christmas morning video didn't turn out quite like we wanted. So instead we will just say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOLLY!!!! We will work out some cute video for you soon, but for now just a picture.
