Happy 1st Birthday Austin

So our little man is already one.  The past year has flown by but he has been such a joy in our lives and we can’t get over how great he is!  He’s growing up so fast and is now into Everything (for proof, see the following picture!)

Unfortunately, Austin’s parents didn’t make his birthday anything huge (some excuse about how they didn’t think he’d notice :) ).  However, Austin has some wonderful grandparents and relatives who are nicer than his parents and so he did have some gifts and he loved his new toys and books.  Here are a few pictures.

However, we did try to make his day special by giving him a couple treats.  We’ve tried to be good about not giving him too many sweets (Melissa’s done much better than I) so we figured his birthday was a good excuse for ice cream and chocolate.  We chose this because these were two sweets which I had previously smuggled to Austin and he seemed to enjoy.

Later, a family in our ward invited us to their home to celebrate their son’s 1st Birthday.  Mitchell is only a few days younger than Austin and so they made it a joint party.  They even made him is own cake – Austin loved the attention and it was really fun.

Well, Happy Birthday Austin!!! We love you and you make our family so much better!!!!
