Grant's 1st Birthday Party

Since we were in Atlanta on Grant's actual birthday, we waited until the following weekend to have his 1st birthday party. The weather was perfect and we had a great time visiting with lots of family members. It's so nice to have enough space to have family gatherings at our house.

Aubrey pulled the other kids in Grant's new wagon from Grandpa and Grandma Schnittker. 

Aunt Baranda and Aunt Kelly talked with Daddy out on the deck 

Uncle Seth, Aunt Tracy, Aunt Tara, Nana, Gianni, Ryan, Papa and Grandpa Schnittker were waiting for the food. 

Enjoying the beautiful day.

The kids were checking out all of the books and toys in the playroom. 

Grant's birthday "cake." It ended up being a big brownie. I didn't plan ahead and order a cake, so when I went to the grocery store at the last minute this was all they had left. It ended up working out... I didn't hear any complaints about the brownies. 

The birthday boy! 

Another big cupcake to demolish!

Yummy icing!

Everyone watched to see what Grant would do with the cupcake. 

Papa and Nana enjoyed watching Grant eat his cupcake. 

Cousins, Aubrey and Emily tried to help Grant with his cupcake. 

Not as bad as it could have been. 

Bath time! 

Evan enjoyed the brownies and homemade ice-cream! 

Excited about opening presents. 

He had LOTS of help! 

Trying to figure out how to use the wagon. 

Aubrey, Evan, Aunt Tracy, and Aunt Tara tried to cool off in the pool. 

Daddy and Uncle Seth were trying to decide it they should put their feet in the pool too.
