Coley turns ONE!



One year ago, after a super speedy (and scary) labor and delivery, we welcomed Cole William to our family. It doesn't seem possible that 365 days have gone by... until I think of that as being 365 days without sleep (okay, maybe just 362, but who's counting). Cole has brought incredible amounts of joy to our family and is such a blessing to us... here's a few pics of him at his party. The lighting under the pavilion and the super windy day didn't help with great pics... but here it goes!!! :)


We did a Tonka Truck themed party... with dirt cake. You can't see it, but we topped the tables with brown paper and Eric made truck prints using paint on the tables. It turned out cute.


A truck full of dirt cake... much easier than 5,000 stars for Strawberry Shortcake!!!


Very anti-climatic experience with the cake... we couldn't get the candle to stay lit because of the wind and he was pretty chill about the whole ordeal. :)


I finally fed him his first bite to get him going....


Then we dumped it out of his truck and he dug in...


Opening presents... we are thankful that he now has boy toys!!!


And a little help from our friends....

He is so cute! That picture of him sitting in the truck is adorable. I hope you're 3 day streak of getting some sleep is still going. See you tomorrow night.

Kristen,
Back when I first saw this post, I loved this idea! I think we will plan on using this theme/dirt cake for Greyson's 1st bday party.. Where did you find your Tonka truck?
