Because one birthday post is obviously never enough...

If you are reading our blog then you know us pretty well, so you won't be surprised to learn that we have hundreds of pictures documenting Max's 1st birthday! It's impossible to choose some and not others.. so here we go again with more birthday loooooove : )

Max greets his guests

As soon as the Holdridges walked in the door,
Max plopped down for some book reading and "sharing" with Caitlin!

Friends Forever.

Max greets some non-penguin guests.. his Great-Aunt Diane and his cousin Jamie!

 Max likes to keep an eye on Garon... 

The yummy spread- two kinds of homemade chili, mac & cheese, pigs in a blanket, chick fila nuggets, pasta salad, veggies, fruit, and a hot chocolate bar!

The kitchen always turns into a hang out spot! 

Siblings! 

More sibling love!!

 Max had such a FUN time....

we were so happy because you never know how much a one year old will enjoy opening presents!

And obviously his Mommy & Daddy had a lot of fun too... : )

It wouldn't be a birthday party without some love from Pappy...

 Buddies

Auntie Meaghan!

"Happy Birthday to Max, Happy Birthday to Max!"

We sang to him all week leading up to his party so that he would know it was a special song!

The cake adventure continues...

Thanks to Pop-Pop for crawling around on the floor with all the kiddies!

Post-nap shenanigans included playing with the balloons ..

..doing some laps around the living room..

.. and finally a ride around the house in his new wheels!

Did I mention that he napped like an champ for the next two days? I wonder why! : )
