Will's 1st Birthday Party

Our sweet Will turned ONE on 07/07/08. We celebrated with a small party with family and close friends. Below are pictures from his big day!

Since we live on the lake, I decided to make him a sailboat cake. The sail was paper, but everything else was completely edible. Note the life ring and whale's tail. Michelle helped make these out of fondant to add to the "realism". Ha Ha!

A back view of the boat cake, named "The Willfish". That is one of his many nicknames! The boat even had tiny American flags hanging off the back.

Will with his very own little cake! He has become a pro at this icing thing.

Proud momma and daddy. Caroline slept peacefully while all of this was going on.

Will's new "MUDSLINGER" truck from Michelle and Joy!

Pulling cars in his new little wagon.

OK, honestly, he showed the most excitement when he opened up his LSU outfit from Aunt G. He really squealed. It was so funny! Proof we're training him right! Geaux Tigers!

A fun alphabet bus from PawPaw and Gram in Louisiana!

Riding the mudslinger. Whoo hoo!

Getting tired of all the fuss.

Of course, no event is complete without special homemade cookies. These were lollipop cookies with Will's picture tied to them. I had so much fun decorating these to match the party decorations. Daddy enjoyed eating the extras.

So adorable wearing Genny's LSU baseball cap!

After the party, folks headed to the water for a swim.

Finally awake, Caroline shows off her pretty party dress.

Genny spent the night to spend some time with the babies.

It's quite obvious who they love!
