Ethan Turns 1

Several weeks back I was delighted to receive a birthday party invite to the one and only Ethan Allen. Then it occurred to me... could it be... he's one already?!?!? How does a year go by so fast? Will Cadee's first birthday sneak up on me to? So today Cadee and I hitched a ride to the party, while Daniel stayed behind working on my truck in the driveway.

Elmo themed with bright primary colors we had a ball! Cadee was all giggles looking around until after her bottle then she decided it was nap time. Meanwhile, Ethan was stripped down to a diaper and was given a very red cupcake. Note to self: don't let Cadee where clothes when frosting is around. Best idea ever Whitney!

Cadee made the rounds visiting with my good friend Emma Rose, who I went to elementary and middle school with. I was so delighted to go to her wedding last year and be able to introduce Emma to Cadee today. Pam, who I work with at the library, is also Ethan's grandma. Cadee was passed around like usual. 

 Seeing Ethan with Cadee just makes me almost wish she was just a bit older to play with him. I know that time will come and they'll get a chance to get to know one another more in a few weeks when Whitney watches Cadee while I'm at work.

After napping through the party, as people were leaving Cadee was wide awake and all smiles as we headed home.

Only 9 months until she'll have a party of her own!
