Happy Birthday Liev

Liev turned 1 today and woke up looking like a million bucks...
Nothing like a good booger nose to start out the birthday!

Liev shared his birthday with the Super Bowl this year, so we combined the two parties and had a football cake to celebrate. I remember watching the Super Bowl in the hospital the day after he was born, just Josh, Liev and me - hard to believe that was a year ago already!

Believe it or not, Liev was not overly excited about the cake.

Actually he was a little scared of it and kept trying to push it off his highchair.

Much different than the sugar-crazy girls we have - he really was not happy about this cake!

It took me putting a frosting finger in his mouth to realize that he might actually like it. (Notice the other finger sneaking into the picture for a taste.)

Then he went after it.

Getting some love from the 2 Grammies.

And cheered on by Uncle Greg and big sister Rease.

After it was all done - he looks full doesn't he? Present time after a quick bath in the sink.

Rease was very sweet and gave him a present from her. She gathered up some of her favorite toys laying around the house and put them in a Happy Birthday bag to give to him. He has played with this toy plenty of times before but somehow as a birthday gift it seems much better!

She did draw this cute little picture for him and signed her name so he would know who it was from. She is the sweetest sister!

Can't put this toy down now that it is officially his.

A picture of the whole gang at the party. We had a fun time with everyone!

An attempt at a family picture. The best we came up with still has Rhen sticking her tongue out and Rease and Liev looking away. We did our best!

Happy Birthday darling boy!
