Coen's 1st Birthday!!!

Here is Coen's gift from Mommy and Daddy. He absolutely loves it!!! Now, if we can just teach him how to steer it...
Coen with Livi, the ladybuy and Will, the pirate. Getting them to share is lots of fun!!!

Coen finally dug into his cake after a few minutes! Then, he sat there and ate it in a daze for like 20 minutes. I wish I knew what he was thinking.
Coen loves chocolate cake!!!
Pumpkin Cake with Candy Corns!!
It was hard opening the presents in a timely fashion because Coen wanted each of them to be removed from the packaging. Reasoning with a 1-year old is an oxymoron.
How cute is Livi-bug?!! And, last, but not least, Coen's Ninja pose.
We decided to celebrate the end of Coen's 1st year with a costume party for the kiddos! As you can see, Coen requested to be a ninja. We had a great turn out, that resulted in a ladybug, a pirate, a bumble bee, 4 batmans (thanks to the Menard boys), and a cat. Everyone had a great time, and NONE of the kids had a meltdown!! I mean, what are the chances of that when you have 10 kids under the age of 5 all together? Coen got way too many toys, and an insane amount of clothes (thanks to Aunt Audrey). What a day!!! And, to top it all off, the Razorbacks won!!! Go HOGS!!!
