Luke's 1st Birthday Party

It's been so long since I've updated this blog thing, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been anything going on.... just the opposite! I'm finally posting because I had to share some pics and a recap on Luke's 1st birthday party. Our little guy's birthday isn't until the 26th, but we are heading to Denver to get together with the McKinstry side of the family that weekend. So we threw a local party for him this weekend, and the family came to help celebrate. Tom & Ruth, Kellie, Brett & Abby, Kristen (and Zac stopped by when work allowed), Grammy Sharon & Papa Jim and Gabe, Nancy & Jameson. It was a beautiful day. Seth put his new grill to work, bbqing a pork roast for pulled pork sandwiches - yum. Surrounded by family and friends, it was a wonderful day! A great way to celebrate Luke's 1st year!

the birthday cake - those are starburst and laffy taffys used for the words and border.... Don't worry. We switched out a plain frosted cake for when Luke dove in.

Look how big these boys are getting!

white on white.... hard to see the cake with white frosting that

I'm putting in front of Luke. We didn't even try to actually light the

candle with the breeze blowing.

Yum!

Sharing with Jameson.... he's in training for the big "1" in July.
