The Fin-Man Turns One

It's so hard to believe that a year has gone by already.  This cute newborn baby boy ...

 is now officially a toddler...

His parents recently held his first birthday party at a park near their home.  The number of attendees hovered close to thirty but out of repect to their children's privacy, only photos of our family will be shared here.

Naturally Fin had no clue as to the cause for such a fine celebration but he thoroughly enjoyed his independence. He was a man on the move which meant Grandma was also on the move.

I had lots of photos of his backside.

So much mulch, so little time.

There were playsets to climb...

Decorations to destroy...

And bubbles.  Lots of bubbles...

 


Fin proudly yielded his bubble wand as a sword...

(This kid is ALL boy.)

Of course there was cake.  The theme for Birthday Party #1 was Bubble Guppies.

He wasn't quite sure what to do with his Smash Cake....

  

but he eventually figured out that he was supposed to eat it...

Of course, a bath in the doggy water fountain was then in order.  This turned out to be way more fun than playing with cake.

Then it was time for some family photos...

Grandma #1...

Grandma #2 with Aunt Meg...

And Grandpa...who will never willingly pose for a photo.

And of course, presents.  LOTS of presents....

Look at this obscene Pile o' Presents ....

Thankfully his parents only have themselves to blame for this next one...

Fortunately it serves double duty as a "baby keeper."  :-)


And just think!  Christmas is only three days away....
