Pearce's First Birthday

Last weekend was my sweet nephew's first birthday. It is so crazy that this little baby is already one! Carrie and Chris had a family party for Pearce. We were there along with Mama and Papa, Lora (Gigi), Aunt Jen and Robert. Alexandra had a play to get ready for so she stayed in Houston with a friend. Carrie did such a good job with all of the birthday decorations! Everything was so cute! The theme was "Trains" and everything went together so perfectly, from the cute little train cake, to the birthday banners, door wreath, and high chair tray cover. Nathan and I packed up some of his wooden trains and tracks to help Carrie decorate the dining room table. 

The grandparents got there first and had their time with baby Pearce. We got there later in the evening, and Nathan and Charlotte couldn't wait to get their hands on Pearce next. Nathan and Robert had fun playing on the IPad and with each other. And since Robert's birthday was only a few days away, we also had a little party for him. 

On Saturday, the guys stayed at home, and the rest of us went out to lunch and to pick up the rest of the party supplies. Then we hung out in the backyard where the kids played and raced. They went on a wagon ride, and we just basically relaxed, visited, and took lots and lots of pictures! 

Party time! Pearce was so cute opening all of his presents! He had two little helpers: Nathan and Charlotte. And those two little helpers also loved PLAYING with Pearce's new presents :)

Charlotte had such an exciting day (with no nap) that she just couldn't stay awake long enough to see Pearce eat his cake. I felt bad for her because I know she would have loved to see Pearce dive into his cake and make a big mess! We loved watching it, and he was not shy about getting messy. It was so cute!

We had so much fun celebrating with Pearce! He is the sweetest baby and is loved by all of us. Happy Birthday!
