Kip flew in to celebrate Deaton's 1st birthday with us, and we've been laughing it up since she arrived Thursday....er...Friday morning at 12:00 a.m.
And it's to celebrate a very special birthday. Not mine, though technically, since I have gone to the "leap year" birthday system (only celebrating when it's a leap year) it actually IS a leap year, and I am required to celebrate per my own birthday system, I have foregone birthdays, maybe forever, in order to celebrate the grandson.
He was born 5-11-15.
This year. It's been a blur of time slipping through my hands so fast, I can't even keep up.
Deaton loves balls.
I mean, the kid is obsessed. "bah. bah. bah. bah." If he's not carrying 3 at once, he's at least carrying 1. All. the. time.
So, Lacey and Kip had a "Ball theme" party. And we didn't go all ridiculously fancy and pinteresty, though I have to tell you.... I bought that kid a bunch of birthday stuff.
I. can.t. help. it. It's that dang Grandma-itis. I'm ate up with it.
He kinda likes me, too.
But the #1 best birthday gift this year, goes to Aunt Hallie. She told me what she wanted to get him, and we had to search all over toys r us in Tulsa to make it happen.
To say that was a smash, is an understatement. He LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Even ole daddy got in on the fun!
We have a legion of people, just in our immediate family, so when a party rolls around, "just family" events requires event centers....or Billy Boy's side room.
All of DeeDee's favorites were there today.... all his great grandparentals
His Holt family
His Deaton family
My brother and his crew
and last but certainly not least, my small posse
We love seeing pics of kids diving into their first birthday cakes, and we were so anticipating seeing Deaton's excitement when he finally got to dive into his!
Auntie Kip made him a ball birthday cake and we even got him a new highchair (which
mommy stripped down to the plastic, because she knew he was going to be a dirty boy)
and we were prepared for the deluge of birthday cake that was going to happen. We anticipated smearing, we anticipated throwing, we anticipated a giant mess.
Yeah.
Started out good.
What ? the? Crap??
What in the world is on my hands??
\
Somebody DO SOMETHING!!!! Don't just stand there and LAUGH AT ME! Stop LAUGHING AT ME!!!!!!!
Here, Dee Dee, wipe it on daddy!! (good daddy!!)
IT"S STILL THERE! I may be starting to hyperventilate!!
(he has a small bit of mama's flair for the dramatic in him)
A prince and his minions. "Clean me, women!" Poor. mistreated. thing.
Tyler got some help from his big bro...
If you've seen Tyler before, you know he is no tiny guy. His brother makes him look tiny. And if your big bro licks your face to help you out, you stand there and take it like a man.
Deaton liked present opening WAY better than cake. He discovered when he threw his hands in the air (like he just didn't care) (see what I did there), that the entire crowd of people would cheer and go wild for him.
He did it every 10 seconds or so, the rest of the party to test us. We passed.
Every guy needs a cool fishing hat, so Lols had to get him one.
Everyone paying attention????
YAYAYAYAYAYA!!! we would cheer!!!
Dee Dee really bonded with Great Uncle Bubba. He kept feeding him french fries with Ketchup. I think they will be friends for life.
Lindsay's cooking a little boy 2nd cousin right now. That should be tons of fun, really soon.
I love this one so much of me and the "originals". Just can't believe all my babies are grown up and my baby baby is so much taller than all of us. She grew another half inch this year. She was a full 6'2" at her physical the other day. Dee Dee is going to outgrow her by his 6th birthday the rate he is going.
As it stands now.....
YAY DEE DEE..... Best day ever.
