Our handsome little guy is a year old today. If I had to describe him using only two words I'd have to say sweet and easy-going (is that one or two?). I am often asked "Is he always like this?" Meaning is he always happy and laid-back. Yep, from day one we knew he was just a go-with-the-flow kind of guy.So yesterday we prayed for nice weather and invited over the entire family - that would be 62 adults and children. When the birthday boy has 15 cousins just on his dad's side family-only parties tend to be big. We had a great turn-out with awesome people and lovely weather. Not to mention delicious food.
A few picture highlights of the day:
My cake creation!
Grandma and Russ
Nora & Joy
Hank and Grandma Young
The best $8 I spent - Hank couldn't take his eyes off the balloons
He didn't give us much of a show
A short-lived cry (he didn't like the frosting on his arm)
Some of the crew
Eleanor & Brody (and the fuzzy caterpillar)
Jennifer & Tom
Hank loved chilling in the Lego wagon getting pulled through the yardWe didn't get a chance to open presents at the party. So as soon as Hank woke up the girls were ready to help open the gifts.
Hank and his birthday wake-up call
Hank's Haul
Whoever got Hank the yellow tissue paper - thank you! It was his favorite gift.
He loves Chuck the Truck and his Pals
But then he got down to business and tried reading his new book - hey, he's one now
Still loving the balloonsHappy Birthday little buddy. We love you like mad! Thank you for being such a sweet little guy.
Love, Mommy, Daddy, Eleanor and Carolyn

Oh, he is just so cute--I can't stand it! I can't believe how big he looked in his p.j.'s...he's definitely not a baby anymore! How awesome that you had so many family members over for his birthday. You guys are amazing! I love the cake--what a great idea!
Happy Birthday, Hank!
Very sweet!!! He is such a well tempered guy! I agree with Kristy, he looked *so* big standing in his pjs. Like he was going to walk into the kitchen and make himself a coffee! What a cutie! Healthy second year to you, Hank!!!
He's one!!! That's so exciting and the year has flown by. I love all the great pictures. You can tell how much Hank's older sisters are crazy about him. What a fun day! Happy First!!!
