Reece is 1!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday sweet Reece!  You have blessed us beyond measure:)

                                             



We had a Rubber Ducky birthday party on Saturday the 7th.  Lots of friends and family came to celebrate with us!  We held the party at our house in the evening so that it wouldn't be so hot- ha!  So much for "not so hot" in July!!
We served salads (chicken salad, egg salad, pasta salad, fruit salad and little frozen "sweet" salads) along with an awesome cake and cupcakes provided by my amazing friend Monica!







For activities, there was a bubble station, crafts (decorating koozies) and bobbing for apples (Carson and Parker lobbied for this since the planning started).  Our friends took home little bags of goldfish and a duck cookie (baked from scratch by this girl right here....I'm still amazed, ha!!) as a thanks for coming!







Reece really likes all the cool stuff he got too!  Of course, his brothers were trying to take over-- good thing the birthday boy liked the boxes as much as the stuff!  He was especially in love with this little white ball that came as a part of one of the toys.  He's so happy:)


Reece had a great time watching all the kids and visiting with all the people.  He savored every bite he could of his cake...I think he couldn't believe we were letting him eat it!  After months and months of no solids, he was slow and steady, but really enjoyed it!  No tears like his big brothers on their big day!





We celebrated his "real" birthday on Sunday.  Mom and Dad got him his very own and first Dunkin Donut...chocolate glazed.  Yummo!  He loved every bite!  We spent some time with Gramp and Rachel before they left, had lunch at O'Charleys where Reece ate his own roll and finished the day with dinner at Cheesecake Factory with Grandma Sue, Bebe and Pop, LeLe, Guncle and Kerrigan!  He devoured his own piece of cheesecake and they sang to him too:)  He was a mess, but loved it!  It was a great day!
                                          
                                          

Happy, Happy Birthday little guy!
