Happy Birthday, Murphy!

Murphy had a great first birthday! I have never seen him so excited! Here is a picture of his monkey cake made by my friend DeeDee's sister-in-law Ann Wells! His smash cake, pre-smash!

Here he is ready for church this morning in his Birthday outfit! I can't believe a year has already gone by! It has been the best year of our lives, by far! Classic Murph- very busy! Sunday shoes-check, Mickey hat- check, present from Auntie BrenBren-check! (Full poopy diaper- priceless!)
Enjoying my learning home from Mommy and Daddy
Opening presents! All of our wonderful friends spoiled Murphy!
Tasting my yummy Giraffe named "TayTay" from Taylor and Simonne. I love that they got him a giraffe since his godfather Taylor is so tall!
He loved this ball popper from Dee Dee and Dibs!

Maracas from LinLin- now daddy and I can start a real band!
The highlight of the evening- CAKE!!! I have never seen such a display. He embraced the smash cake with all of his might!
Where is Murphy under all that cake?
We immediately went to the tub- notice the cake bits floating in the water!

All clean! Watching my first year slideshow from Alex and Kellie (I will post this as soon as I figure out how!:)

Taylor and Tee discussing how toys are a lot cooler now than they used to be!
The aftermath...
What a fun day! Walker and I are so blessed to have such a precious "little monkey"! We are also so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. Thanks to all of you! We love you!
