This weekend consisted of back to back celebrations for Scout’s first birthday. Saturday afternoon we spent the day with Micah’s family. We BBQ’d, opened gifts and had cupcakes. Scout was timid at first to open presents, but got into it after a while. He was pretty into his cupcake, and took handfulls of frosting at a time –thank goodness for last month’s trial run. The highlight of Saturday was his gift from Grandpa…..a longboard skateboard that Tim made himself. He even personalized it with a note on the bottom –”Happy first birthday Scout. Love, Grandpa”.
Sunday was spent with my family, and we did another BBQ, presents and brownies. The brockbanks were up, and Scout was in Heaven being with his cousins. They took him on long walks on his new bike from Grandma and Grandpa, and played hide and seek with him forever. He is battling an ear ache, and didn’t make one peep that showed he was uncomfortable the entire time they were here. Tristen’s frined Tessa knitted him a really cute beanie, and he got great stuff from his cousins and aunts…and especially Nonnie. He was a little more into the Brownie cupcake this time, but I always envisioned my kids to get into the cake face first…..so I gave him a little help. My sisters were disgusted when I “shoved” the cake in his face. It was a light tap! We ended it with some whipped cream on his head. He loved every second of it!
Happy birthday big boy! Daddy and I adore you!
