Me and my crazy crew. Does it look like we had partied till we were about to drop?
My favorite picture of the evening... Nana, Connor and Raegan playing in their Rock Band. I just wish you could have heard to singing to go along with it :)
Hope everyone is resting and getting back to routine like we are!

He is completely mobile now, finally able to keep up with his big sister. He is on the go constantly, and is always willing to flash a sweet smile. This picture is Drew in a nut shell :)
Such a sweet little boy. 
Little man and his Mama on his birthday!
It's no wonder our poor Christmas tree looks like it does. Everything within reach has been rearranged, removed, or whacked with a dump truck. 
Raegan showing off her glasses. 
Cutie pie Drew waving bye-bye.
Those eyes are gonna break some girls heart someday!
This is his new face which he loves to show off. He crinkles that little nose and giggles... too cute!
His famous "No mama, I didn't do ANYTHING wrong"
"Hmm, wonder if I can use this against Raegan???"
" You can't get me!"
What was supposed to be a hug turned out more like a tackle.
This was after she floored him. She looks way too proud of herself. 
That was supposed to be another sweet hug from his sister.
Drew is running away from Raegan to avoid another hug :)
The yummy cake!
The birthday boy destroying a napkin.
Raegan might just be wishing that it was her birthday :)
He was very upset that he wasn't allowed to touch the fire, so Raegan and I quickly blew it out and let him at the cake.
He wasn't too sure about it at first, but quickly started to destroy the cake. Raegan was very concerned that he would get in trouble for making such a big mess :)
We reached total destruction when his little cow was beheaded. I don't think he ever really tasted the cake, but man did he have fun making that big mess.
What a boy!
We had lots of "help" opening the presents, but I think this was the only one that Drew actually got to tear the paper. He found a plastic cup, and was entertained by it the whole time we opened his presents.
He did decided to practice his new skill of climbing on this present. 
He went non-stop walking around greeting all his guests. 
Make way for the birthday boy. He is almost able to run now!!!
Raegan knew that I didn't have my own camera, so she was helping out with some pictures :)
I'm pretty sure that Drew's favorite thing about this whole party was that he got his very first Ring Pop. He held tight to his beloved paci, but would alternate sucking on one, then the other. We decided he was smarter than we thought, because he was making his paci much more flavorful!
Here are some of the kids playing with one of his toys.
Hanging with Uncle Scott, but still clinging to his sucker and paci.
Not sure if you can see the cake in his hair or not, but he was covered. Does he look tired or what? We went straight home to soak in the tub and everyone was in bed by 8:30. We had lots of fun, but were all pretty wiped out when it was over :)
We love you Drew!! I can't believe my baby boy is ONE!
This next picture was a surprise project for Raegan. I had gotten some letters to paint to put Drew's name to his wall (finally) and the leftover was turned into a masterpiece by my little Picasso. The absence of clothes happened after she got a little paint very close to her sleeve, so she quickly stripped down to underwear and didn't take the time to put more clothes on. 
Here is Raegan's little tree she decorated. We strung Fruit Loops for garland (very fun AND tasty :) and she picked out all the decorations herself. They were all different variation of balls and there are blue lights that you can't see. It has since been moved up onto her dresser since Drew kept knocking it down trying to get to the Fruit Loops. 
Here are a couple of the cinnamon ornaments we made that Raegan decorated with Puffy paint. She really wanted pink paint even though it wasn't a Christmas color, and as you can see just globbed it on. I think they are beautiful though! The candy cane was mine.
And just so you know that we haven't brushed Drew to the side, he has been hanging out watching us "create" and trying his best to get his hands on everything that resembles food. His new favorite toys... the remote and a hairbrush. He is so easy to please. 
Well here is the proof that Drew is definately walking. Just so you know, he stood up right in the middle of the floor for this little clip. He is getting much braver and would rather walk than crawl. What happened to my baby Drew?!?!
By the way, anybody else think we need new kitchen floors? :) If only I had a money tree in my back yard....
All you need is a big blanket, a couple of chairs and an imagination.
Well, despite the looming cloud of sickness that seems to be hanging permanently over our house, we have managed to get in the Christmas spirit a little. Here is our very first gumdrop Christmas tree. Raegan LOVES anything she can create or decorate, so this was a perfect (and pretty easy) project for her. She is so proud of her handy work.
