The Kayle Family: Birthday Bash!

On Saturday, this guy will be ONE!

We celebrated last Saturday since daddy was supposed to be drilling on B's actual birthday. As it turns out, his unit had a training thing last weekend so he won't drill until April. So, we'll have a nice family dinner out to celebrate the actual day! Logan helped make Brody's smash cake:

Sweet girl wanted to do it all, she wanted to make everything so special for her brother.

Brody is usually my happy, sweet, nothing phases me, child and he was NOT himself on the day of his party. He was fussy and it was so hard to get him to smile and enjoy himself. We found a tooth cutting yesterday and I'm pretty sure that was the culprit of the mood.

We had some friends over to help us celebrate. Brody and Logan love to play with Claira-lynn!

Brody was a little apprehensive of his smash cake when we came at him with a candle...

Logan helped him blow the candle out and then attempted to show him how to dig in.

He was content licking the frosting off of his fingers and trying to pick the sprinkles off the cake one by one.

Picking at the sprinkles:

He really, really enjoyed the chocolate frosting.

After the sugar we got a few smiles from him:

It was nice to have daddy around for the party, you can tell the kiddos really, really love it when he's home!

And now for the party details! Even though I knew it'd be a small party, I couldn't stop at cupcakes and streamers.

I did a couple banners with his monthly pictures, and we realized that after about month 2 he didn't change a whole lot! He got a little longer, but other than that (and the fact that he sits up without assistance) you can't tell he's had 10 months of growth in between!

I made this fun dip (yogurt, cream cheese and coolwhip topped with confetti sprinkles) and cut up Brody's favorite fruit to go with it! Logan loved both the fruit and the dip but she ate them separately. She's named the dip "finger dip" since that's how she ate it!
