ok. . . so here are the pictures everyone has been asking about. logan had a great first birthday party. lots of friends and family at our house. logan had fun with friends and all of his cousins. he woke up from his morning nap just in time for grandma and grandpa caveney and aunt dawn to arrive. perfect timing. he came down to a house full of familiar faces and loved ones all around.
we ate.
we played.
we smashed cake.
we opened gifts for what seemed like an eternity when you are the mom. so strange to suddenly be opening your child's gifts during a party. it almost doesn't feel right. :) at least i had two 4-year olds more than willing to help rip open presents. ha! ha!
here are some pictures from logan's party. still can't believe my baby is 1 already. (deep sigh)
logan and mommy at the start of the party
