Wild One!

Wowsers! Connor turned 1!  

Our nephew is growing up so quickly. We were thrilled to be able to celebrate his birthday at our house this year.

His mama outdid herself with the decor, cakes, and of course...

amazing cookies!

Everything was picture perfect for this little guy's first birthday party.

Lyndsie's mom even flew in from California and her sister drove up from Houston. 
They both love Connor so much.

Miss Lilly got all dolled up for the party and wore her best smile, too.

This picture just makes my heart happy.  Love all of them!

While the adults chatted, Connor and Lilly played on the floor.

Uncle Jared got a turn holding Mason, who was fast asleep for most of the night.

Cameron made quick friends with Ashley and her fiance Trent.  This girl has never met a stranger!

We watched Connor open his presents...

and then it was time for his smash cake.

The look on his face says it all.  Not a fan of cake, or icing!  Clearly, we've got some work to do!

While Connor may not have been a fan of his cake, the rest of us were chomping at the bit to get some of the big chocolate cake. So good!

With Connor and Mason added to the Hays side, the boys are making a comeback.  

We all enjoyed the night...

and loved watching this kid try to stand on his own.

So many good baby snuggles, 

lots of smiles, 

and I even got a quick peek at Mason's eyes while I was rocking him.  Pure sweetness.
Such a good night.

Happy 1st Birthday, Connor!  We love you!
