Happy Happy Birthday, to YOU!

It's been such a fun day! Laex was greeted this morning by a living room decorated with streamers, signs and balloons. My mom used to do this for us when we were younger and it was so fun to come in on the morning of our Birthdays and see the decorations. Then for breakfast he got, Cocoa Puffs.
Around noon he got a visit from Aunt Helinfield, and cousins Matthew and Carly. They brought him a darling Little People (which I adore) Circus and 1 balloon for his 1st Birthday. The balloon he has carried around all day - what do ya know, it's the simple things they love most! After LeGrand got home he opened his present. Which I really love and I think he does too! We headed out, got some dinner. Then came home to have cake and Ice Cream!! I didn't want to clean up the mess he was going to make so we took him outside, well, it wasn't the best idea as he was too distracted by all the outdoor excitement! But I think he loved his cute cake (did you know Albertsons does a FREE cake for their First Birthday?? And it was good!) and own tiny tub of Ben and Jerry's.
Just after he got bathed and we were settling down to get ready for bed, LeGrand got called to work. What a bummer - oh well, at least he didn't miss any of the fun, hope it's not an all nighter!
