Happy 1st Birthday to Colin!

On Colin's birthday, Daddy had a long day at work and the only time he had all day to talk was in the morning so we decided to celebrate Colin's big day over donuts.  (Only the best donuts in the world: Fractured Prunes!)  Hey, it was Mommy's birthday too and donuts are my favorite.  We decided to serve Colin up a blueberry glazed.
Daddy was on west coast time so he was waking up just as Colin was taking his first nap of the day.  We knew we only had a few minutes with Dad so we had to wake Colin up from his sweet slumber for the festivities.  As you can see he was still a little tired.
It wasn't long before he noticed the balloons overhead.  "Are these for me?"

With Daddy on video chat and everyone awake we were ready to start...
Colin looking around at everyone as we sang "Happy Birthday."

Yum, this is good!
"Alright, I'm ready to go back to bed. Why did you wake me up?"
"Because you are turning 1 after all!"

Colin will just show his hat instead.
What's a birthday without a bunch of loot?  Colin sure had tons of it!

Colin perked up again once we spread all his gifts around the floor and let him have at em.  He wasn't quite sure what to do at first but then got down to business.
Checking out all the animals in his Noah's Ark.
 After all the festivities we headed down to the beach to grab a birthday shot.
Later in the day we went back down for some fun in the water.
Colin was fearless on his birthday!  Crawling back and forth along the water as the waves were crashing up on him.

It was a great birthday had by all.  We wrapped up the day with a crab feast!
