Austin's First Birthday: Part I

Lucky Austin had two birthday celebrations in October.  Over Conference weekend we had a big birthday party for my brother, Cameron, Jeff, myself and Austin.  I made two milk-free turtle cakes made of cupcakes for Austin to dig into and to share with the rest of the family.

It took some coaxing to get Austin to try the cake, but after wiping most of the frosting on his leg he decided to try a couple bites on his own. (This turned out to be a huge accomplishment as you will see during Part II)

Austin got to open several gifts during this first phase of his birthday from both sets of grandparents

He got a beautiful Alphabet quilt from Grandma Mitchell

A new carseat (also from the Mitchell's)

 (Enjoying his new seat a couple of weeks later)

and some fun puzzles, a super cool Fisherprice barn, some Lego Duplos and cute clothes from the CO grandparents.  What a spoiled kiddo!
