We celebrated our little squirt turning one yesterday with a whale themed birthday bash! Grant sensed the excitement in the air all morning and refused to take his routine afternoon nap, despite his lack of sleep he did wonderfully at his birthday party and had a blast! It was great spending the day with our closest family and friends and reflecting on the past year of our baby boy's life! Enjoy the pictures, it was hard to pick from the several hundred (not kidding) that were taken but I did my best!
Grant awoke from his morning nap to find all these balloons in the dining room. He scooted towards the room excitedly clapping and screaming, "OOOHhhhhhh, OOOOHhhhhhh!"
I oringinally planned to have the party outdoors and have several baby pools and slip and slides for the kiddos. When you live outside of the rainiest city in the United States you can almost always count on rain. The party was officially rained out so we moved everything and everyone indoors.
These two couldn't resist the urge to play in the pools despite the rain. This is Henry and my nephew, George. They are both two and a week apart in age, they had the best time playing in the rain!
Football in the rain was also enjoyed by the little boys

Love the cupcake toppers!
Favor buckets for the kids that read, "Hope you had a whale of a time! Love, Grant"
The goods: I even found rubber duckies with whales on them!
Poppy grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for everyone, we also had "whale" goldfish and animal crackers in sand buckets for the little ones.
