Coleman's Birthday Party

Coleman doesn't officially turn 1 until the 16th, but due to scheduling issues we had the party this Saturday afternoon. I thought that if I added enough pictures of the birthday party you would all be able to feel as if you were actually here to enjoy all the craziness. (thank you to the Cooks for letting us borrow their great camera)

Braden helps decorate for the party:

Rozy getting into the spirit...It's fun to be 1. Coleman did not know what to make of the cake, the singing, or the party hat.
What is this?

Coleman didn't like eating the cake...

but he did enjoy eating his party hat... Braden was a great Big Brother all day... and enjoyed all the cake.


Sophia also enjoyed the treats!All the kids in their party hats:Opening Presents



The Ritners with Coleman.

some backyard fun to burn off all that sugar... a nice 70 degree day in February!

Walking... Coleman now pushes everything around the house; even items that are meant to be stationary (chairs, small tables, etc.)

We appreciate the friends and family that celebrated with us!

One more Christmas Celebration

Grandma and Grandpa Dean came to visit this past week. Despite a nasty cold for Grandma (which the rest of us avoided getting... so far) we all had a great time. Good thing Coleman had mostly recovered from his pneumonia.
