Birthday Party in Birmingham

This weekend we packed up and headed to Birmingham to visit Grandmommy and Granddaddy and have another birthday party for Collin with the Hardy side of the family. We arrived Friday afternoon and Collin spent the night investigating their house. He especially loved their stairs and had to climb them several times on his own for fun. Saturday morning all of Patrick's cousins and their kids came over to celebrate Collin's first birthday. It was so neat to watch him interact with the older kids. He especially loved Kaleb who is five. Collin would watch him build structures with little cars and would then go and knock them down. Luckily Kaleb has a brother and did not mind the annoyance. After lunch all of the kids sat around the table and sang to Collin and then had cake. Up until this point Collin had cried every time he even saw cake. I guess the fourth time was the charm. He loved it and got it everywhere! In fact, he had to be excused to go and get a quick bath before opening presents. Collin got lots of neat books that were some of his cousins favorites growing up. Grandmommy and Granddaddy got him a sand and water table for outside which I know he will love since he plays in Sweetie the cat's water bowl all the time. Collin had a great time and loved getting to play with his older cousins.
