Neil's 1st Birthday Party!

My sweet, wild little man turned a year old April 5th!  This year has definately flown by, and on April 10th we had a birthday party for him at our house. We are so blessed to have had that many family members show up to celebrate with us!  Thanks a million to Stacy and Aunt Ginger who took all of these wonderful pictures!!  The party was at 2:00 and the festivities lasted long into the afternoon.  Marvin, John, and Allen left the party a little early to go pick up this amazing slide thing that someone graciously handed down to us! And then some of the family stayed for supper and we all went to LaPinata. He was such a good sport considering it was probably one of the most social days of his life :)

Enjoy the pics!  There are a ton of them posted because I loved them all!!!

Time for presents..



Gramma and Granddaddy gave him the sweetest little horse that was just his size!

Neil and Gramma

I was excited about the clothes.

I guess he liked the shoes better.

Digging right in....

Sweet sister having fun too!

All the babies wanted a turn on the horse!

"there is a flaming candle in my presence because?.."


Testing the texture

I have no idea why the kid who eats dirt is hesitating on this!

And he finally got the hang of it.

Ginger and Jessica and Rachel (so glad they could come all the way from Columbus!)

Melissa Evans did another wonderful job on the cakes!!!
