Lincoln Turns 1!

My baby had his first birthday... I can't quite believe he is already 1! It was fun to have a little celebration for him with some of his little buddies from our church nursery. Hannah and Brookie also came down for his birthday weekend which was so nice! We decided to do a little monster theme, I think Lincoln loved it!
I made these little felt masks for the kids to look like monsters - they were super easy to put together and turned out really cute.
 We went pretty small on the snacks since the guests are all pretty little! We had caramel popcorn, Fritz's soda, and my friend Emily made some adorable monster cookies!

 We pretty much just snacked, chatted and watched the little ones play! 
This is Lincoln and his best buddy, Clara. They are only 10 days apart, she sits right behind us in church so they love waving and babbling to each other!
Case and Sadie were the only "big kids" so thankfully Hannah could provide a little entertainment for them!
 Little Asher was so cute in his monster mask!
Since Brooke was here, I took advantage of her artistic abilities and she made a little monster picture peek thru!
 

 I made Lincoln his own little monster cake to dig into. He was actually pretty smart and just went for all the frosting!
 
He eventually realized he didn't need his hands and just went for it!
  
 Lincoln, we are incredibly grateful to God for adding you into our family! Your are our little sweet boy who just loves to be held, snuggled, held, snuggled, held and snuggled! It's all you want! You are quick to laugh and love any attention from your siblings. You love bananas and are happy to play with a ball for hours. You just bring so much joy to our family! Happy Birthday, we love you so much!
