On Saturday, Derek and Josh went on a walk with Daddy (and got poured on, on the way back):
But, after drying off, we headed to a park to celebrate our friend Emily's 1st birthday!
Josh enjoyed his scrumptious cookie.
Don't they look cute in their "One" shirts? Can't believe they are a year old (and only 8 days apart)!
Then on Sunday, we had Derek's class Chanukah Party in our very own back yard! We had so much fun, we forgot to take pictures! But, we did have the bounce house left over for a few hours, so we all got to have some fun:
Before Josh's big day arrived, he celebrated his birthday with his Big Brother and Cherry at Mommy and Me:
First, Josh had to say a little prayer with his buddies.
Enjoying a birthday cookie.
Josh, apparently, isn't the only one mesmerized by the candle.
We had a mini-birthday celebration on Friday, as Joshua turned 1!
The famous sock monkey shot (to compare how much we've grown over the year)!
Happy Boy with Happy Daddy!
Josh has trouble taking his eyes off of Papa!!!
Josh is finished with Dinner, but will have to wait for his party to have his first every Birthday Cake!
But, he doesn't seem too upset by it!
One last roll around with the Monkey before bed.
Can't believe Josh is one! Night sleepy baby!
Rest well.
Then, over the weekend, we had a family celebration for Joshie!
With all of the birthday pictures that occurred on his birthday, Josh is now ready for the flash! This is his new face anytime he sees a camera. Squinty eyes!
Josh's 1st birthday, means Josh can have eggs!
He likes it. He really likes it!
Derek makes his own concoction for breakfast.
Preparing for the party guests.
Josh is "diving" right into the birthday festivities.
Josh had yummy pizza before his big cake feast:
Happy Birthday Boy!
I'm ready for the good stuff, now:
Josh's first taste of cake!
Does this shirt make me look 1?
Ohhhhhh candle.
Here goes nothing...
First taste.
Happy Baby!
This cake stuff is delicious!
Do you agree, Derek?
YESSUM!!!
Of course, once everyone was cleaned up, Aunt Susie was ready for her photo opp:
Aunt Susie with the Birthday Boy!
Check out the Derek's 3 and Josh's 1 shirts (personally made by Grandma!)
Forget riding...I need to be walking!
In case you didn't have enough cake....
A fist full of deliciousness.
Finger lickin' good!
Silly boys!
Josh's "movember" look.
One more bath before bedtime:
Daddy, take this silly thing off of my head!
Sure love bath time, and sure loved my 1st birthday!
