the rote 1st birthday

I’m sure you’ll remember this little (big) guy and his great family from previous shoots. Well, here they are again…this time celebrating his first birthday. A little family BBQ with grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins, and of course mom, dad, & big brother too.

It was his cousin’s birthday as well. She got a pretty ballerina cake.

It’s my party and I can cry if I want to? We moved him away from his ball & he was not pleased. But Daddy helped him make a quick recovery.

He REALLY liked his elmo/cookie monster cake. A lot. Can you tell? I left just as they were starting to clean the birthday boy up. It was going to be a big job! Hope it wasn’t that kind frosting that has a little perma-stain to it!
