and THE puppy dog party

This morning we had a family puppy dog party for Andrew. The Dyers, the Adams, and Kayla came to celebrate with us. Andrew was in such a good mood when the Dyers got there (probably because he was being held and entertained) - I captured this (blurry) picture of them while he was laughing hysterically.
We had quite the all-American spread to celebrate our puppy dog loving American boy. We dined on hotdogs (get it - hotdogs at a dog party - unintentionally ingenious - also one of Andrew's favorites) with all kinds of toppings, chips and homemade salsa, potato salad, baked beans, watermelon (another of A's favorites), and puppy dog cake. After we ate we watched the video we made celebrating Andrew's first year of life and then we opened presents. Andrew was too busy to catch a good picture of - but I love this one of him standing up - he looks so old to me! Come on Mom, can't you see I'm busy here. The chaos - notice how Caleigh is right in the middle of it. No chance she was going to miss 'helping' (read: unwrapping his presents for him) Bubby open his gifts. Andrew decided he better make a quick getaway. After presents we sang Happy Birthday to Andrew and ate cake. By round three of the birthday celebrations, Andrew knew exactly what to do with that cake. And a couple of videos of the madness...
We seriously had to take the cake away after he had eaten half of it for fear that he would make himself sick. He went to town on it! He was a hoot.
And a big mess. We had a blast celebrating our sweet boy!
