Our Buddy Boy

Tonight we celebrated Lucas' 1st birthday. I can't believe how fast this year has gone! He is the sweetest little guy and I love him so much! We had high hopes for a mild mannered possibly even shy child in him but now fear that he will be even more active that Grace! He is still very sweet and nearly ALWAYS happy but he loves to get into everything. Wherever all the action is, he wants to be sitting right in the middle of it. He loves to follow Grace around and do whatever she is doing (she doesn't always like that). They really are good friends though. I love to watch Grace get in his face and do a really obnoxious laugh solely for the purpose of making him laugh. She really does love him...even if it's not all of the time. Happy Birthday Buddy Boy!
We celebrated with opening gifts from Nana. He got a really cool ball and some of his own trucks (since Grace dominates all the rest that we own). Averee was excited to see what he got.

Grace nearly caught her hair on fire trying to blow out his candle for him.

Here is the birthday boy enjoying his first bite of birthday cupcake.

Oaklee came to celebrate too.

2 friends enjoying their cupcakes together.

Lucas was trying to get clear of the Ring-Around-the Rosies game. He cried every time they "all fell down".

Here's a rare smile for the camera from Grace. She usually just stares at you like she either thinks she's some serious super model or that you're an idiot....
