Anders' First Birthday

Yesterday, we celebrated the first birthday of Anders, the son of our good friends Nicole and David. Even surrounded by way more people than he is used (and lots more noise than he is used to for sure!), he hung in there like a champ, opening all of his presents and even having a little bit to eat. Elizabeth and Emily had a great time eating pizza and birthday cake, helping Nicole and Anders open his presents and playing with an awesome water rocket that Anders' cousins brought to the party.

Daddy and Emily watch the big kids play with the water rocket (Emily made sure to stay a safe distance from the flying rocket and water....)
It was raining AND they were playing in the water - awesome kid combination!
Every little kid loves bubbles - it's amazing!
Birthday Boy!
Cool shades.
Enough of these presents - I want to crawl around and explore.
One of the many reasons why we get along so well with Nicole and Dave - they love dogs, we love dogs and we are all raising our kids to love dogs and our dogs to love kids!
