We Have A One Year Old!

We started off Trey's first birthday by heading over to our good family friend's house, Cindy and Lori.  Trey and I visit with them every Wednesday and Trey enjoys his time with them.  Well he enjoyed his birthday time with them as well.  We walked in to tons of presents and lots of balloons!

Unfortunately before opening presents, I gave Trey a wrapped chocolate marshmallow to smush (he likes to do that).  So most of this attention while "opening" his gifts was diverted to his marshmallow. 

He dropped the marshmallow for a noisemaker although he didn't quite get the concept.  He basically just chewed on the cardboard until it was mushing away and I had to take it from him.  

Having fun slapping his birthday balloon around! 

Since Trey was a tiny baby, Cindy has called him her little froggy because how he curled up his legs on you when being held. So she made sure that his birthday cake included a stuffed little frog which Trey was super into. 

What you can't see in this next picture is that after Trey ran his hand through the very stain-worthy blue icing several times flinging and wiping it everywhere, he lovingly swatted Buckley on the side of the head … which resulted in a not so happy Buckley getting a little bath. Overall though we had a great time with Cindy and Lori! 

Even though we weren't having a big birthday party for Trey, I still wanted him to have a theme.  So I went with mustaches and ties aka "little man".

Cupcakes and Birthday Cake! 

Favor bags filled w/ "Hugs" and "Kisses" from the birthday boy! 

The birthday boy :-) 

And his happy papa. 

The one nice thing about living back in Orange County is that we are close enough and lucky enough to be able to spend important days with family.  So big ups to Cory's rents, my brother and sister-in-law, and my mom (who came up all the way from NC!) 

 More presents and more cake! 

 Big thanks to everyone who made Trey's first birthday so special!  All the birthday wishes and gifts were much appreciated !!
