What A Difference A Year Makes

Last night, we celebrated Jake & Elwood's first birthday. It's amazing how in a year they've gone from this:

To learning how to help with laundry -

To learning how to help with the trash -

So, in honor of their first birthday, we had the Kazo Kuniko-style birthday celebration. Rotisserie Chicken for everyone! And, not just some ordinary, crossing-of-the-road rotisserie chicken - oh no - a Super Bird!

Grandma Joyce had sent them a couple of special bowls she had decorated herself, as a birthday present. So, of course, that's what they had to have their special meal in!

Mmmmmm - YUMMY!

"Hey! You're eating out of MY bowl! Wait a minute!"

"Ahhh ... there! That's better! Thanks for switching the bowls, Dad!"

Yes, we are smitten with these two guys. They are smitten with us, too.
