fergus' first birthday party

Bennett was invited to celebrate Fergus' first birthday.  It was a beautiful day outside.  We were excited to spend it with friends.  Fergus' mommy Kristen did an excellent job decorating the place for the party.  It was a knight theme.  The centerpieces were home made chocolates shaped like crowns.  The gift bags had fun toys, like rubber ducks and glow in the dark necklaces, and candy.

There were foam swords and crowns for the boys.  We had Bennett dressed up within minutes of arriving to the party.  I knew it wouldn't last but he looked so darn cute.

Took about two minutes before he threw down the sword and ripped the hat off.  Mommy likes to dress up too. 

 Fergus' cake was adorable.

He also had a cupcake tower in his honor.  

Here is the little prince enjoying his long awaited birthday cake.  Fergus was a little spooked at first by all the singing and the attention.  It took him a few minutes before he started to chow down on his cake.  We got to try a little bit of the cake too.  It was really tasty!  Thanks for sharing Fergus. 

Bennett got to enjoy some of the delicious cupcakes at the party.  We are in trouble because Bennett sure does love his frosting.

Bennett doesn't even mind wearing a crown.  He needs all of his focus for the cupcake.

While at the party we got to enjoy some of the outdoors.  Bennett discovered his shadow for the first time.  He was chasing for a while.  I have seen videos of kids being scared of their shadow but Bennett was mostly curious.

We enjoyed the party quite a bit.  There were a lot of kids.  The Falcons and the Shannons have a lot of family and friends.  Everyone was so nice and we felt most welcome.  Bennett joined all the kids in the group photo.

He had a little trouble standing still.

We had a wonderful time and are so thankful to be a part of Fergus' big day.  I tried to get a picture of the boys before we had to leave.  And, at least one of the boys cooperated, right?

We love you Fergus! Happy first birthday!
