Gavin's First Birthday Paint Party

There are two competing theories about a first birthday party. One theory: don't do it. The guest of honor at best won't remember it and at worst will be totally unimpressed that there are too many other people in his house during what should be nap time. The opposite theory: do it and do it big. The expressed guest of honor may not remember it, but two older, formerly sleep-deprived, unmentioned honorees are in desperate need of a celebration after a year that has totally rocked their world. Despite my inherited tendency to overdue holidays and celebrations, I think we split the middle quite nicely this time.





Although Gavin will not actually remember the celebration, we all enjoyed it (including the 1 year-old-honoree), and we have these great pictures as reminiscences for when he is older.
