Orin was a little sad the night before the party because he wanted his party and wanted his friends to be there. Daddy told him that our friends are his friends. We are all friends and it turns out that was true. Orin made new friends and had lots of fun with his friends.
So the day of was also Nixon's party (Lance's son). Orin was very excited to go to his party and he loved it. Gavin just loves being with his family where ever we go as long as we are all together he is happy. So we stopped by but felt bad we had to leave early. They did have a beaver show up as a guest and both our boys loved him Gavin gave him hugs and kisses. Orin did not want to leave until lance told him the beaver left out the front door. The whole way home Orin said "I don't see the beaver. I liked him." It was pretty cute.
We didn't get as many guests because of weather and sickness, but we had a great time with the ones that came. Gavin loved everything! I think he knew it was a special celebration for him. He only had a 20 min nap all day but was so happy about everything. We are really lucky to have two happy, funny, smart boys. They are both very entertaining. Here are some pictures from the party.
The invitations.
The cake I made for Gavin to eat. It wasn't my best but he liked it and that is what is important.
The decorations. I saw this on pinterest and it was pretty easy and turned out pretty awesome. Orin loved them. He said he wants some red and blue ones for his birthday since it is going to be Spider-Man.
Living room Decorations. I made the little cards to put in a scrap book for Gavin. I did this for Orin and he loves to look at it . It says 1 min, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 2 months and so on.
Pin the Mustache on Gavin...This was a lot of fun to play. I cut out the mustache but it looks a lot like lips to me.
A close up of the cake that we bought from Costco....it was huge! We have tons left and it tastes pretty good. We have Gavin's favorite treats - m&m's, licorice and swedish fish.
This is our friend Sarah. and Gavin (he is wearing a batman shirt I made him). I made him and Orin batman shirts. I also made Orin a spiderman and I made Gavin one that says I am 1.

Gavin looking at Dad when he gave him the cake...he wasn't so sure about it.
We had to put his hands down. He kept trying to grab the fire on the candle.
The happy 1 year old with his cake.
Our boys don't really enjoy being messy so the cake is fun for a little bit but then they are done. He ate the white frosting around the top. He loved it!
Sorry so blurry - Orin wearing his mustache.
Joel with his mustache
This is BJ with his mustache...it makes me think of Mario.
They are spinning Archer to put the mustache on Gavin.
This is a picture of Orin putting it on later that night. We got his on video but my computer wouldn't up load it.
The final results. Sarah and Gavin were the closest.
Our guests ( Archer, baby William he is only 1 month old, Laura, Tausha)
Sarah and BJ
Gavin got some cool stuff that he loved but he love the car in his hand and the box of legos the most.
He couldn't decide if he wanted to drive the car on the box or sit on it. He kept getting up and driving it and then turning around and sitting down on it. he did it like 6 times.
The 2 of them playing with the cars.
Gavin playing with his legos.
His new favorite thing is to look out the front windows on the side of the door.
The boys riding on the bike with Sarah. They always do this with me...I don't know why they think it is so fun. It makes me exhausted when I am riding the bike.
We had a really fun day and weekend. We are so happy for Gavin. He brings a lot of joy to our home and we are so grateful for him. Happy Birthday Gavin!
