Mason Turns One

Mason turned one on Aug. 30th, 2009.  We just had his "Doggy" birthday party on Sunday, Sept. 6th.  I made a "dog bone" cake and puppy cupcakes for the kids.  All the cousins were there and the kids enjoyed the backyard baby pool and sprinkler.  Mason loved playing in the pool and carefully exploring his birthday cake with each finger.  He was so gentle.  It was funny to watch.  He had such a surprised look on his face when the candle was lit.  Mason opened some awesome presents including some toys, a puzzle and book, and clothing.  There was a doggy bone hunt down in the basement for all the children.  (Just like an Easter egg hunt except with dog bones.)  The kids were so excited as if they were finding candy instead of dog bones.  We had a taco bar with chicken, beef, beans, and all the works.  It was delicious.  And Mason, you enjoyed every minute of it.  I cannot believe you are one, my sweet "Macy boy."  You are such a joy and I just love the way you are always hugging me and laying your head on my chest.  So cuddly!  Here are some pictures of your special days my love.  (real birthday and party)
