Dominic’s first birthday

Yesterday was Dominic’s first birthday. It’s hard to believe a year has gone by already.

Despite dealing with some stubborn sinus infections (all of us but Eliana) we managed to have a great celebration last night at Henderson’s Mission Hills water park.

In preparation for the party Vickey picked up the party supplies, including balloons.


We invited a handful of friends and family to join us at the park for cupcakes and fun in the water.


It was a very nice night, overcast and a bit breezy, but still warm enough for the kids to enjoy running through the water.

Vickey managed to capture 100 photos of the festivities.

After a lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday to You,” when Dominic was presented with his cupcake, he dug in right away with both hands.


Dominic is definitely not shy about eating.


He managed to cover himself with gusto in cupcake crumbs and icing.

We weren’t going to let him get wet but after he was so sticky and messy I decided to take him over to the sprinklers for a little washing up. He enjoyed playing in the water for a bit.


As it was getting dark we gathered everyone around again to open gifts. Thanks to everyone who came Dominic received plenty of toys, a backpack and some new clothes. Thank you all!


And thanks to everyone who called to wish Dominic a happy birthday.
