The Clan McKinnon

We spent a fun afternoon cheering on the Wolverines at the Crisler Center today. Look Daddy - bigs guys running around with a ball - I can do that! We loved watching the action! Despite having her own seat, Eve preferred to sit in the aisle. She kept checking in with us - But mostly kept on cheering for Michigan! Selfie with Daddy!

I got a birthday plate from Grandma and Grandpa - but I did not use it to eat my birthday cake! Everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. Finally time to eat my chocolate birthday cake that Mommy made just for me! This frosting is interesting...I think I will have more! Hey - there's some yummy chocolate cake under that frosting! This is really good stuff! Conor kept a close eye on the floor just in case there were any droppings. I certainly didn't try to waste any of the cake! I even offered to share some! Everyone enjoyed the moment... ...but no one more than me! Of course I had to share some with Eve too! That was great - let's do it again!

Hopping! Skipping!  Stretching!  Balancing!  Handstands! Ending with jumping on the trampoline! After just two weeks in the Parent-Tot class, I got promoted to the Kinder Class - with bigger kids and no parents! Stay tuned for more excitement!

Today was my big FIRST birthday! I got presents as soon as I came downstairs for breakfast! I'm such a big boy - using the spoon all by myself!  It got to be a bit messy. After a fun day at school, it was time to get some official 1st birthday pictures.  As usual, Eve wanted to get in on the action too.  What a silly and -  - fun 12 months it's been! I finished the day off snuggling and reading books with my big sister!

We visited Grandma & Papa Joe for an early birthday celebration. My new Radio Flyer walker also works well as a little wagon for Eve to pull me in! After dinner, I got a slice of Italian birthday cake! Hurry up Grandma and get that candle out of the way, I want to taste some of that! Hmmm, this is interesting... I LIKE IT! I did pretty good eating almost the whole slice! After cake, I burned off some energy running around the fountain with Eve!
