Gordon's Firsts

Gordon celebrated his first birthday on January 9th! Kyle had to work during the day which is actually really unusual for him to have to work on Saturdays, but it seemed to work out and Gordon had a fabulous birthday party with all of his family there to celebrate. We made homemade chicken nuggest and french fries. Everyone said they were great, so I hope that I am right in saying that the food was great. Since Kyle had to work during the day I ran out of time to decorate the mini birthday cakes, so the kids got to ice their own cakes, which they LOVED. I insisted that parents help their kids, so it didn't get too messy and the kids got to enjoy however much or little amount of icing and sprinkles they wanted. I did decorate a cake simply for Gordon so he had one to blow out and eat though. I definitely didn't do my best work in anyway, but he devoured the cake anyway, so it didn't really matter what it looked like! All in all, it was a great day. Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate GoGo's birthday and let him know we are happy he is a part of our family!!

As you can see in the pictures, Gordon got his first HAIRCUT!! I didn't want to, and at the same time, I knew it was time. He was looking a little too girly with that long hair, so it was time for it to go! All the boys got hair cuts and Kyle even shaved off the facial hair. It was weird to see him like that. He has had that facial hair since we moved into the house 3 1/2 years ago or maybe even longer, so it's been awhile since I've seen him without it. He decided it was bothering him too much and he needed a change, so that's how he did it. He also got a change in getting new glasses, but I haven't taken a picture of those yet, so that will have to come later. I do have to say about Gordon and Eddie though, that really the only thing different about the two boys features now is their size, other than that, it's like they are one in the same person. It's really fun and strange at the same time!
