The BIG day

So my Owen is officially ONE. Last night Danny and I started sharing Owen's birth day story with him starting with where we went for dinner the night before he was born and then I finished the story with him this morning. When Owen woke (us) up we sang Happy Birthday to him. He's probably going to expect this everyday seeing as though I have sang it to him for the past two weeks. I wanted him to recognize the song so he would get excited when he would hear it. Silly I know.

Here he is this morning in his new monkey jammies...

After breakfast and his morning nap, we headed off to Kindermusik. When we walked in the door, there was a little girl from his class wearing a party hat. I thought it was so sweet of her to wear a hat for Owen's birthday (after all, it's all about Owen, Right? Like she knew it was his birthday.) While in class, the teacher asked if it was both Owen and Alyse's birthday. Come to find out both of them were born at the same hospital, on the same day and only 2 minutes apart. Owen was born at 10:52 am and Alyse was born at 10:54 am.

Here is the birthday boy sporting his birthday boy tee shirt from Gramma Karen.
Later, Julie came over for dinner and she brought cupcakes. Yellow cake with chocolate icing. Yum, my favorite. We lit the same candle he had on his party cake and sang Happy Birthday to him once again.

I think he liked the cupcake. What do you think?
The little guy is exhausted and now sleeping peacefully.
