Splish, Splash! Birthday Bash!

There is nothing my Harrison likes better than water.  Almost since the moment he was born, he's been happiest when he's splashing around in it, so it was only natural that we would have a splish, splash, birthday bash for him when he turned one.  *Not to mention* it's been at least 100 degrees every day for a month, so that played a small part in the decision, too.

We blew up beach balls and inflatable pools until we were dizzy, created a 'lagoon' out of a tarp and pool noodles, and set up every hose and sprinkler we could find to ensure that our baby had all the water he could want.  There was a bubble machine and watermelon slices and balloons and streamers.  No party is complete without a cake, so we had three or four (there was some mix up at the store, so we ended up with some extra cakes--what a shame). 

Many of our friends and family were present to celebrate H.E. turning one.  They brought him all kinds of presents (that Carter promptly stole) and lavished him with all the attention he could possibly desire.  It was a really fun day filled with all the things H loves, and we all really loved seeing his joy.  Cheers, buddy.  This was only the first of many.
