Tanner is now a BIG one year old! Talie and I talked about
boycotting his birthday and just pretending that he wouldn't turn one,
but somehow it still happened. Kennedi helped me bake his cake and all
of the kids helped decorate it. Ashy and Talie did the beach theme,
complete with sand (graham crackers) and of course Polly Pockets (that's when Dallin left). Peyton
decided, since it was Tanner's cake, that Batman and Spiderman should attend the beach party as well.
We put one candle and a sparkler in the cake and Talie and Dad had to keep Tanner's finger out of the flames (look at that determined face!).
At first, Tanner was very neatly picking out the gummy worms and eating them, but then Dad showed him how to dig in!
Tanner definitely didn't have any problems with that!
Here, his siblings and cousins are patiently waiting (except for Dallin=) for Tanner to dig in before they get their piece.
After Tanner enjoyed his cake, the only thing that could happen next, was a bath! But he couldn't leave his own party, so he bathed right in the middle of the party.
It took us awhile to decide to go for a number six and we couldn't have asked for a better number six!! Tanner is so sweet! He is so happy, but I guess who wouldn't be when your life consists of constantly being surrounded by 7 people who think you are literally the cutest baby in the world and that every thing you do - ok, maybe except poop - is absolutely adorable. Tanner is very easy going, which is probably out of necessity, and already has a sense of humor. Tanner, Happy Birthday!! and we love you!
