More Birthday Pressies!

Last week, Ethan received a box full of birthday pressies from his New Zealand relatives.  This gift opening experience was good practice for Christmas!  He got a Buzzy Bee, lots of Animalz, a cool balloon ball, an awesome hand-knitted sweater and some other cute things.  He even got to talk with his "Marg" on Skype while opening the gifts.

Birthday Boy: One Year Old!

Ethan turned one year old today and I am still wrapping my head around the fact that somehow my newborn baby turned into the cutest, sweetest one-year-old boy ever!  We had a little party for him with family and I definitely think he had a ton of fun.  He got to play with his cousin, his aunts and uncles, and his grandparents.  He got to eat some delicious cake (even though he got tired of it and didn't eat too much) and got to open his presents.  Well, ok, so he was more interested in playing with the tissue and wrapping paper than he was in unwrapping the gifts, but that's OK... he loved the toys and books and puzzles once he saw them.  The big hit of the night was definitely his new ball from his Grandma and Grandpa Wade.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Ethan.  We love you!

Aunt Ashley, I'd like some of Mackenzie's cottage cheese
for my birthday, please.  

Mackenzie, can't I have a little taste? 

May I see your license and registration, ma'am?

MmmMmmm!

Lots of pressies for me!

Ethan has his one-year check-up on Friday so I'll post his updates once we get home from that appointment.

Mackenzie is ONE!

The Wade Family

Our newest niece, Mackenzie, turned 1 on Friday and we got to go to her house to celebrate with her family.  It was so much fun!  She had the traditional Wade family lambie cake that her Grandma Wade baked and her own special smash cake baked with love by her mom.  The birthday cake was Mackenzie's first time having sweets and she LOVED it (following a Wade family tradition of cake lovers, I think)!  I didn't get many pictures but here are a few that we took.  I'm sure there will be lots more photos posted at Wade's World soon!

 Happy First Birthday Mackenzie!!!

Here, Aunt Sarah...try some of this delicious cake my mom made me!

You don't want any?  OK, I'll eat it!

Cayne's Birthday

Happy Birthday Cayne!

Some of the family decided to stop by for in impromptu party too (good thing I got a cake)!
