This past weekend we met both of our families at Nana and Papa's house for Grady's first birthday party. It was a week early, but it was what worked for most everyone to be there. We will have another celebration this Friday on his real birthday and I'll post those later. We had a great time in the pool with all his cousins, grilled out and my Mama made an adorable train cake and yummy carmel train petit fours. 
Mama and Grady waiting for our guests to arrive!
Dad and Grady
Playing with Dad.
All five Wilson cousins! Anna, Troy, Grady, Kate and Asher!
Sisters and kids!
Lots of fun in the pool . . .
Giving Kate a kiss.
Kate was able to dive off the diving board and swim to the steps without coming up! We were all impressed!
Asher has no fear in the water! He had just gone off the slide here!
Anna laughing at everyone and wanting to go off the diving board too and she did!
Bonnie and Troy
Neely and Josh drove all the way up from Charleston just for the party and went straight back! They are too sweet!
Aunt Neely and Grady
Opening gifts!
Great-Grandparents!
He loved the Blue's Clues book from Aunt Bonnie, Uncle David and Troy.
You can tell all the kids loved the laugh and learn Farmhouse from Meme and Ditdough!
He did not love his birthday hat. It lasted a few seconds.
All the kids wanted some cake right away!
It began with a small taste and later . . .
he ate it by the fistfuls!
He did not disappoint for his first cake eating!
Got to have some milk with all that cake!
Slowing down
Very tired and time for a bath and bed.
After his nap he had a ball playing with all his new toys! He loved them all, but especially the light switch on the farmhouse.
Tired again and resting with Dad.
Having fun with Papa and his new Megablocks from Aunt Beth, Uncle John, Kate, Asher and Anna. 
Snuggling with his bear from Aunt Irene.
Playing with his bubble maker machine from Nana and Papa.
Time for bed after a fun-filled day!
