Party Time

Holden's first birthday party was a big success. It was a beautiful day with lots of friends and family celebrating our sweet little boy. My only wish is that Holden hadn't caught his first cold which lasted the entire week and put a damper on his party mood.



The first guests getting the party started. We had about 25 adults and 15 kids.

Grandma quickly learning Holden doesn't like to sit still for very long.

Getting ready for cupcakes. Check out the awesome hat Grammy made.


Monkey cakes



He proceeded to shake his head "No" after getting a taste of chocolate. Not exactly the reaction I was expecting, especially since his mother is a choco-holic.
My poor, sick, chocolate-disliking birthday boy.

Two Grandmas and a Great Grandma. I really hope someone else got a better shot of this.

Music toys and a Harley shirt from Uncle David, Aunt Christina, Molly & Lindsey.

The generous gifts and the giant monkey that welcomed everyone at the door.

Tired out at the end of a very fun and special day. The celebration continues all week until the big day.

From Molly:

Hey Birthday Boy! Happy Birthday. I hope you had a happy day. I am happy you are 1. I thought you looked cute with the cupcake in your mouth. Wake up, Rob.

Love,
Molly
