Happy 1st Birthday Rhett

Summer birthdays are fantastic. To celebrate Rhett's 1st birthday we headed to our favorite campground for the weekend. Family and friends came to play and party. Rhett spent most of the afternoon pushing his ride-on car around the campsite and playing. As with most young kids, he opened one present and was satisfied. After some encouragement he slowly made it through them all. Trucks and farm animals remain his favorites. Oh, he did have a tantrum when I tried to get the toy TV remote controller and his new Toy Story Woody doll out of the box. Packaged toys can't be opened fast enough for little boys. Greg cooked burgers and hot dogs before we dug into the cake. Rhett reached for the cake as soon as it was placed in front of him. He was covered in icing before I could light the candle. Everyone agreed to let him dig into the cake himself and we could salvage what remained, but he only destroyed the nose which was easily scrapped off. His buddies Burke and Mason helped him blow out his candle. I have to admit that I got a little tear in my eye as we sang Happy Birthday for the very first time. Time has passed so quickly this year. It was wonderful to have our friends and family join us for this small, but important moment in Rhett's life.
