Celebrating Titan

We finally got to officially celebrate our Titan the other night. We sang in Branson but didn't want to pack his present or things for cake and then when we got back from Branson Dan went out to Seattle for a few days so Wednesday was the night when we were all home and together again. 

In case you're wondering why you were not invited it was a diaper or underwear only party (excluding Dan and I), oh and Myla wore a tu-tu. It was quite the event though, and as Quinton requested it was, "Just our family to celebrate."

 Dan and his favorite little girl.

 As most one year olds, the paper is just as exciting.

Titan is sooooo lucky to have such helpful older siblings who are sooooo willing to help him unwrap his gifts, and also to set such high birthday dressing standards.

 The wrapping paper was picked by none other than his big brothers.

 

He is also very lucky to have such helpful siblings to show him, and then take over his birthday gift. Dan and I made sure that Ty was given some alone time on his new ramp. It was pretty fun to watch him figure out how to use it. When his cars make it to the bottom he claps over and over for himself. He seems to love it and he seems to love it especially when someone will sit and race cars with just him.

I was thinking that a birthday without cake wasn't really a birthday, except almost all of us don't really enjoy cake that much so we went with brownies and ice cream. A much more successful birthday treat.

There are no extremely messy birthday cake shots but I figure that the all around enjoyment of the food is equally as important as that cute messy face 1st birthday picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 He delights in the attention and with that smile he keeps everyone's attention easily!

 Myla with brownie in her teeth. She and I opted for no ice cream (we prefer our salt!).

And a day at the Rude house would not be complete without a crazy chant of, "We need another girl on our team," by Myla followed quickly by, "We need another boy," from Rex. This in response to what gender baby #5 will be.

 Oh they are passionate!

So, a few days late but a successful 1st birthday celebration of our favorite little guy, Titan. Can't say enough about what a sweet, determined, little man he is. Delighted to be his momma. Happy 1st Birthday Titan!
