Happy Birthday
We then proceeded to Isaac's favorite thing to do eat dinner. We had chips, veggies, and I even made homemade rolls to use for making the sandwiches. Mmmmm!!!! One of the kids thought Isaac needed a gun while eating hmm must have been Jared.
After dinner we had Cake and Ice cream and I made Isaac his own little cake to devour. I always call him Bubba Man so I thought it fitting to put on his cake.
and then Taylor gave him a spoon and that seemed to speed things along.
And the final outcome cake and frosting everywhere!!!! We then gave him a bath and on to opening of presents. I can say though this was the easiest child to clean up after a first birthday cake fiasco because of our home teacher who fixed our bathtub for us!!! It is great to finally have it drain like a whirlpool.
Isaac has mastered the art of opening presents. He did this at Christmas so he got some good practice in. His prefered method teeth.
He especially liked opening or more like getting deep in the bag to pull out things.
We had a really fun night we had friends and family over for dinner, cake, ice cream, company, movies and the Wii. For those that couldn't make it hope to see you some time soon. And Thanks to all for making his first birthday memorable now on to find my Pom-Pom's.

Jared had his moves out to box as well.

When the night finally wound down we put all the kids in there Jammie's and had them go brush there teeth. I found Jared and Taylor along with there cousin Kai in the bathroom on the counter all brushing there teeth. Jared and Taylor were excited because Santa had left them new toothbrushes in there stockings. Spiderman and My Little Pony both sing to you when you brush. How fun.
Taylor posing for the picture as little girls always do.
Jared playing "Indiana Jones" with the whip and hat he got from NeNe and Papa. It makes sounds and even plays the theme song from the movie. I think I need to aspirin now.

then on to the BIG present "Santa" dropped off for her. I love the reaction on her face, priceless.
He got her the Elmo Restaurant complete with dishes, food, working cash register, microphone to order the food, bell to ding for service and even a menu to order from that Isaac is trying to put back in the holder.
Jon decided to get me some DVDs and I am sooooo excited because he got me The Notebook but told me I can only watch it when he is not here. Funny ha ha. He also got me The Neverending Story. I love this movie. For him he got Get Smart on BLuRay and his 50" PLASMA TV. As well as the blinds for both of us in our front room.
My Auntie Cheri always loves Christmas time and she loves the cookies. Here is Taylor feeding her a Sugar Cookie. How precious!!!
Finally we get a picture with Santa and Taylor and she isn't screaming but cheesing.
Jon and I in my Aunt's living room Awwww how cute..
All and all it was a good night lots of yummy food hanging with the family and the best part was on the way home all 3 kids fell asleep. Peace on earth
The HUGE finished tray of cookies that I take to my Auntie Julie's house every Christmas Eve. I bake 50 sugar cookies and decorate them as well as about 30-40 Sour Cream cookies. I think now my back hurts. But I love this recipe because it was my Nanny's Sugar Cookie recipe as well as the Sour Cream recipe. I even used her red and green sprinkles from her kitchen. I always miss her so much this time of year because I used to help her do them and she has been gone now 6yrs.
