A SUPER Saturday - Celebrating Cousins

Today was a super fun Saturday celebrating the boys' cousins - a brand new one and ones that are turning one. Let's get this party started......

Of course, a new baby cousin has to have a flannel rag blanket made by Auntie Evia
So excited to meet Baby Connor!

Today was about meeting Baby Connor and celebrating the twin cousins Keegan and Kaleb's 1st birthday. We left home semi-early Saturday morning with plans to stop by Build-A-Bear at Concord Mills (ours is closed for renovation) so we could build bears for the K's. As always, Eli and Cole had fun picking out animals and "building" them. 

Eli picked out a dog for Keegan (his baby)

Cole picked out a bear for Kaleb (his baby)
Stuffed love for their cousins - I wish I could remember the animal's names. I think one was Zeke but can't remember the other. Bummer!

After we finished at Build-A-Bear, we headed to Uncle Billy & Aunt Niki's house to meet Baby Connor. Connor was born August 29th so this was our first chance to see him. 

"Is it legal to carry guns this big?" - Hilarious!
My baby brother holding his baby - am I really that old?! I remember when Billy was born!!
Cole loves little baby feet

After meeting Baby Connor, we headed to Keegan & Kaleb's house to celebrate their 1st birthday. They had quite the rockin' birthday party! Lots of kids for the boys to play with and they had a great time. It was great to see Jeff (my brother) and Erin and friends / family. There was lots of food, playing, hanging out and cake! You have to have cake for your birthday!

Decorated cookies I made for the party - it was a train theme

Erin had such cute decorations - she had gifts for them inside this train and also had a train going around the tracks. 
Goodies for party guests - a bandana, conductor hat, train whistle and train cookie (made by yours truly!).
Thank you note on the back of the cookie.
The train cookie
Picture trains of each boy. Erin also made them cute signs of their likes / dislikes and stats of them being a one year old. She's super crafty!
The birthday boys themselves!
Hard to believe a year ago they were such little babies. 
"Enough already Aunt Evia. We want to party with our guests!"

Grandma is SO happy to have five healthy grandsons. 
Ready for cake
I love my brother's face in this picture. 
Keegan didn't waste any time getting into his cake. 
Such a sweet family!
Mmmmmm.......Cake!
Keegan was hilarious how he just went for it!
Kaleb was a little more reserved and used his manners. =)
Tried to get a picture of all the kiddos. BIG party!
