Cousin Thane's 1st Birthday...

The Clayton Crew's favorite boy cousin celebrated his first birthday on Saturday!

I was beyond excited to help Aunt Michelle with the Thane Train Express designs :). 

All the decorations just turned out precious...

I mean, just look at that adorable cake Aunt Michelle and DB made!

A big group of family and close friends came over to celebrate the oh so happy Mr. Thane...

The kids had fun running around playing together...

While the adults visited, caught up with one another, and of course loved on the birthday boy!

My three munchkins just absolutely adore Thane and could hardly wait to celebrate his first year...

Burgers were served along with little lady's favorite...cake!

I'm thinking that Thane didn't mind his first bite of cake too much either :)...

Look at him go...

After the grub, it was Thane's turn to dig into his presents.

I must confess that it is always humorous to me that at this age, the unwrapping and playing the paper and/or boxes is always more enjoyable than the actual gift!

The kids wanted to help me wrap up our gift for Thane, so I let them create their own wrapping paper :)...

Kason was so proud! After the loot was open, Zoe and Max had fun trying out a few new toys of their cousins...

It may have been a quick trip for the Clayton Crew, but it was definitely worth the time. We loved seeing family: grandparents, aunts, cousins...

Of course I had to tease Aunt Michelle that payback was coming since she sent us out the door with balloons and train whistles for our car ride home...hehehe!

A big "Happy Birthday" shout out goes to our favorite boy cousin...

with the most kissable cheeks and heart melting smile! We love you Thane Train!
