First Birthday

One of the reasons we stayed in the beach area was so that we could attend Knoxie's first birthday party which was 2 days after we dropped him off at his house. It worked out beautifully for us to get a short rest at the beach and then head home after the party.

Regan cleverly posted each month's picture of Knox's first year on a banner to decorate the place they rented for his party.
the cake was so cute with all Knox's colors!
Knox was a bit overwhelmed by ALL the cousins he had there to honor him but the adults had fun watching all the kids and of course seeing those little one year old hands dig into his first taste of cake
We got to see all of Regan's family at the party plus 2 little girls that are near and dear to my heart:)(and their mama and daddy too")
it would not be right not to include a few lollipop pictures would it? :)

Aunt Breezy gets a few moments with the birthday boy!
It tickles us to no end that Lily Kate is smitten with her Pops. She spent more time with him than anyone at the party :) I think she is his favorite redheaded girl!
the proud birthday boy's daddy with the 2 redheads!

Well, that is all the blogging from me for a week (I think 4 in one night is enough)! I have a fun week ahead again with more grandchildren, this time it will be 2 of the Downes granddaughters, the big girls as they call themselves! My summer is only half finished with grandchildren visits. When you have 11, it takes 3 months to see them all :) and include special times with each one. I would not trade it for the world.
