1st birthday bash

We celebrated Rawson's birthday May 13th and had a family BBQ. I planned an 'all-american' themed party and the weather cooperated perfectly.

i'm not the greatest at getting pictures in order, but these are at the end of the night after he was bathed. snuggling with dad and cia.


all of his cousins who were able to come and his ruggles aunties that were there.

he was so funny with his birthday cake. for months we have been saying how we thought he would just demolish it because he LOVES food and treats and eating.
he just kind of played with it and after some encouragement ate a tiny bit.
grandma julia was sweet enough to make the cake for us, so we had to make sure we got a picture with the master cake maker herself.
we had a pinata, which rawson didn't love, but courtney took care of that thing with a couple swings.
cosette thought she was quite the adult drinking a water bottle from a straw, and loved playing with all of our cousins.

on his actual birthday (may 10) eating a doughnut for breakfast... he took care of this how i expected he would take care of his cake...

Thank you family for celebrating our little man with us!!! It was the perfect relaxing evening, with wonderful company and a cute little man to celebrate.

1) SO DEPRESSED we weren't there to help celebrate cute little Rawson's first birthday!

2) You are a freaking twig - I mean, are you even over 100 lbs.???

And 3) How in the world did you get Marc to cooperate in the kissing pic? haha
