First Birthday Bash!

 

Ian’s first birthday theme was hippos with thunderbolts.  It come from his nickname Thunder squirtapotomus.  We had his birthday the day before his actual birthday so that all of our family could attend.  It was fun celebration and one that I will treasure!

Steve worked hard on smoking brisket and ribs all afternoon.  We had his yummy bbq and lots of delicious sides for dinner. 

With full bellies we let Ian open his gifts.

Happy Birthday Sweet Ian!  We are so lucky that you are ours.  You make us laugh and bring us joy to our lives!
