It's Fun to be One!

Last Saturday, we celebrated Owen's 1st birthday with a family party. We loved having so many loved ones there to celebrate with us. It was a mild, sunny day at Lake Sammamish. We had plenty of food, sand tools for digging, and a happy birthday boy: all the ingredients for a fantastic get-together. Thank you to all who were able to make it!

Owen's cousins made sure he was the highlight of the party.

The Baby Cake
(which says: Owen's 1st Birthday)

"Hmmm... Do I like this?"
His first real taste of sugar (except those mini marshmallows Aunt Keri kept giving him).

Yep, he likes it!

Smashing every last crumb, in usual Owen fashion.

As Owen's sister would say, "Get in there and show that cake who's boss!"

After a quick clean-up, Owen moved on to the presents.

The adults visited...

while the kids were enthralled by the sandpit.

Once the other kids realized it was present time, Owen had plenty of help.

The Papas philosophising.

A very happy birthday boy!

What a fun evening!
