Thomas' 1st Birthday Party

We celebrated cousin Thomas' birthday on Saturday 10/14/06, but his real birthday is 10/15.
Zach and Dad spent a day together in Boykin, SC with men that Dad grew up with. We missed them, but the party was a huge hit with a ton of family and friends. Amy's Dad even bought a mini jump castle for his grandchildren that he brought to the party. It was so great I hate to see how they have to top this one in years to come! :)

Anyway, Happy 1st Birthday Thomas! We love you & wish we could see more of you!

We were so happy to finally meet Miss Grayson. We read her blog all the time & we feel like we know everything about her. Her mom and dad grew up with me & my brother John.

You should have seen us trying to get them all to look in the same direction. Ha!

YaYa & Colonel gave Thomas a Clifford like Charlie's. It was a huge hit and all the kids enjoyed driving it all over the back yard.

Thomas had his own little cake.

John Christian enjoyed the icing off of several cupcakes.

Yum Yum!!

Thomas was not happy that Miss Vicky his babysitter was holding Charlie!
He actually hit Charlie in the face!

Charlie still loves Uncle Stephen.

Charlie came over to see what kind of presents Thomas was getting.
