Noah's birthday was Sunday the 20th of February. It was going to be an insane day that we wouldn't see Derek much so we decided to celebrate on Saturday. We went shopping on Friday for his birthday and Hyrum picked out what he wanted to get Noah. He was so excited to give it to him (play with it himself) that as soon as he woke up he had to give it to him. It was all I could do to get him to help me wrap it.
(although this picture was taken after it was unwrapped of course)
Then we got out our gift to him
We pretended that he loved it
but really every time we put him in it he just cried.
I think he may have known he was getting the shaft. In a way we did better by Noah. We didn't get Hyrum anything for his first birthday ( or Christmas for that matter ). Maybe that's why Hyrum was so excited for all of the gifts Noah got for his birthday.
We did get out the "King for a day" highchair embellishments.
Noah did love that.
He loved his cupcake even more
Don't know why I thought a candle on a one year olds cupcake was a good idea.
(Sorry this is blurry. It was a bit of an afterthought and then it was too late to make it clearer.)
We did skype with Grandma and Grandpa Tangren to open his gift from them. He unwrapped the box and then just wanted to sit on it.
He was happier than peach pie just to sit on top of the box. It was all we could do to get it out of the box and on the rocking horse they got him.
He loved that too though.
So did Hyrum
The next day, Sunday, his actual birthday we skyped with Mema and Papa Wadsworth do open his other gifts. He loved that too especially when he finally got some time to play on it. Hyrum loved it too.
All in all I think Noah deserves a big birthday next year. I love this little guy. Can't believe my baby is one already. But at the same time I don't really remember what it was like without him.
Happy Birthday Big Boy.

What do you think? Do they look alike?

You have such cute little boys-Hy is looking so much older, though! I can't believe Noah is already one year...we don't see you guys near enough for as close as we live. Happy Birthday Noah!

I love that you got him a carseat for his birthday. Genius! :) And they really do look so much alike, especially in those pictures.(Both so handsome, of course.) Happy Birthday, Noah! What a big boy. I can't believe he is one already.

Yea, another post!
I'm impressed with the special highchair "get-up"!
Where did that come from?
Definitely cute (handsome) boys!!

Today I was behind a mother with 2 little towheads who reminded me so much of you and your boys. It was all I could do to keep from scooping up the bunch of them and taking them home to keep. We will be in SLC in early May, surely we will get to spend some time with you then!
