'tis the season...

...for Birthdays! Van and his li'l pals are all turning 1. The first year is coming to an end. It's kinda sad, but exciting at the same time - he's super active and a ton of fun, and is learning fun new stuff everyday!

With birthdays comes birthday parties. Van finally got to try a little bit of his Aunt Kaity's creations. The chocolate mini-cupcake was a huge hit! I think half of it ended up on his face, and a good portion of icing landed on my shirt. Ah well - it all washes away and just look at that face!
