It's Party Time, Aidan!

Finally it was time to celebrate Aidan's first year with family...

We arrived at Grandma and Pop's house early to allow Aidan his nap and not worry about when people would arrive.  He awoke in good spirits!

Aidan and Great Grandpa Green really hit it off.  It was a lot of fun to watch them interact.

Caleb and Bethany enjoyed playing Ladder Ball...I don't think any rules of the game were followed, but throwing balls at sticks and bars was a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday, dear Aidan

Happy Birthday to you!

Caleb loves "helping" blow out candles!

Aidan: "Now what am I supposed to do with this stuff?"

The answer: "Destroy, spread all over and drop onto the ground!"

Finally it was time to let Aidan near all the shiny, colorful paper and ribbons...

It didn't take long for Caleb and Bethany to start attacking Aidan's other presents.  They were very excited about Aidan's new gifts...maybe they will decide to share them with him.
