We started off our day as usual with the waking of Mr. Red-head with fussing through the monitor...Craig & I ran into his room and sang Happy Birthday to him. He of course looked at us like we were crazy, then smiled!
I tried to teach him to hold up one finger when asked how old he is! It worked when I held my finger up...he mirrored me...
Beautiful bed-head and all....
Nana & Papaw arrived around noon to help me get ready for the party! I had a strike of the Kidney Stone....yes it is in caps...that thing has its own name now...it just won't go away....anyway....So mom had to come help me get ready!
Mom, What is that face? :) I guess she is trying to get Logan to smile for the picture!?! Sweet little Nana....
Papaw got some pics of Logan waving to him through the window, before his bath....gotta love the crazy hair!
Nana and Logan playing around...He LOVES his Nana! She keeps him while I'm at work...so it's like his 2nd mom! this pic is crooked...but I love it!
The party......
First picture in his sweet little birthday outfit (bib not included in the outfit attire...but somehow it made it on him)....He LOVED the balloons!!!
Yes, there is a cupcake on his outfit & No...I don't know what I was thinking. I do still think the outfit is adorable, even though I don't normally put him in stuff like that! ;)
Mommy & Logan...

Daddy & Logan...
PRESENTS! I love presents...Logan didn't seem to care to much about the presents! He was semi-interested in the wrapping paper and boxes, but he wasn't as interested in any of that as I thought he would be....I'm sure next year will be a totally different ball game! ;)
"I don't want to sit here and open this box, Mommy!"
He did however, like the cards.....
THE CAKE!!!!!!! All I can say is YUMMMMMMMMMMY! It was such a delicious thing...Gotta love cake! Each layer was a different flavor..chocolate, strawberry, and white, I have to admit that I loved the chocolate the best!
SMASH CAKE!!! Boy did he ever smash that cake too! I think his Daddy was a little disappointed in his reaction to the cake, but I thought it was cute! He picked at the cake ever so precisely at first, but after about 5 minutes of picking off very perfect little clips of icing....he slapped his entire hand in the cake & giggled...and of course I missed it with my camera? Oh well! He absolutely loved the cake though...of course he did....who doesn't love cake?
He wanted so badly to grab that burning candle! Poor kid...Anyway, For those of you who know that I'm a sappy crier....Yes, I DID cry while everyone sang Happy Birthday to my sweet little baby! Happy? I tried not to, I must have some defective tear ducts or something?
Do you see the pure hunger in this kid's eyes....I mean does he look like he knows what he is getting ready to have or what? ;)
Also, he has no idea, but much to everyone's surprise once he got past the icing, our little BOY's birthday cake was pink? Oh well!?! :) He didn't seem to mind!
after he figured out how good it was.....
I also got him this corny little birthday crown that only made it through 1 shot before he snatched it off of his head, I don't blame him....
...here are some pics of Logan all hopped up on sugar! :)...
"gimme more cake!!!!"......
"now...!!!!"
This picture was taking right before he ripped that necklace right off my neck! I can't believe that I made it an entire year without him doing that, and then WHAM! Toddlerism hits & he breaks my necklace! :) Oh well.. I'll just take it back & say it broke (which it did...under the influence of a toddler!) I mean...I just got that necklace that day! :) Oh well
Random Pics from the party...

No matter how hard we tried to get a family picture that day...Logan would have nothing to do with it.....Oh well....
Can we say tired & irritable!....
"I don't want to take ANYMORE pictures, Nana!"
"okay, maybe I will for a balloon....."
After it was all said & done...it was a wonderful day! I'm so glad that we have such AWESOME friends and family to share such special occasions as this with .....the ones we love & who love us!
Great pictures! We are having a monkey themed party, too. I feel that it surely fitting for this wild child!!!! I had no idea that it would all go by this fast...doesn't it seem like we were pregnant yesterday???
