Last night was Griffin's first birthday party. The day before was his birthday and we celebrated in our own little way. Lets just say this year has been a tad overstimulating. First we have 3 different Christmases to attend and that's all ways chaotic and everyone's handing him these shiny packages to pull on, and lets face it ... he just wants what is inside and couldn't care less about all the frill to get there.
Maysen got a wagon for his first birthday, but I'm hoping that this one lasts a bit longer than the 3 years that Maysen's was alive and kicking. The handle to this one is all metal, which was the main problem on M's wagon. This one just seems ... more sturdy. (Noting ridiculously large blow-up wagon wheels similar to an ATV)...
You'll notice that M's hand is very close -- that's because Fin wasn't in it for longer than a minute before big bro (Bubba, as he's been named lately it seems) jumped in. I had told him that Griffin had to get in first because it was his. Within seconds Maysen was bounding in, leaving Fin a little ... awe struck at his speed and agility of wagon-hopping.
Oh great ... a hammer! (He loves this thing! He has pounded on it all day ... note the new shirt, dad?)
And he grasped this concept really fast ... he just can't figure out how these stinking things go in!
Here are the "cake shots". Thanks again to Jessica for baking the super cute Snowman cake for Fin to eat. It was perfect! Fin sat awfully quiet while we sung Happy Birthday and sort of looked at everyone as they sang thinking, "Am I paranoid or are they all staring at ME?!"
This is awfully sticky ... but good ...
Does this heaven really exsist in a small snowman? I'd better try it again ...
IT DOES! See dad? You gotta try this!!
I love this world ...
Why am I starting to vibrate?
Ok, I'm hallucinating ... because I swear this bee is talking to me ...Happy Birthday, Mr Boozle-Oozle-Wooze-Doozle. We love you and have had the best time over the last year. We're looking forward to many more ...
PS: Tomorrow is Griffin's last (hopefully) and final appointment with his neurologist at OHSU. He's only seen him twice and both times were good news and that "He looks completely normal!" so we're expecting nothing less tomorrow. Will let you know how the appointment goes.

Awww, happy birthday little dude. Glad you had a good one.
Truly outstanding first birthday bash. I am just in love with these fun pictures. My nephew turned 5 in last week and his tom and jerry themed party organized at some local NYC venues was brilliant. My kids also had very enjoyable time in this bash.
