Happy Birthday, Drake!!

We finally celebrated Drake's first birthday.  Nana came in town yesterday to join us.  The kids are at a great age where they all enjoy the same toys so Reese and Stella were just as excited as Drake about some new toys.  Heather sent a red car that Drake can ride on and that was a big hit with everyone.  They had a hard time waiting their turn to take a spin on their new ride.  Nana found a really cool game that has balls that you put in the center of the "table" and they spill down the legs when you press a button.  I don't think the kids have ever been so quiet as they all stood around that table and played it again and again and again.

Here is the birthday video.

 Drake, being the picky eater that he is, only nibbled on the icing. 

In other news, it is COLD and RAINY here.  Two of my least favorite things.  The only bonus is having a fire in the fireplace.  A few of our windows are leaking when it really pours.  We were already in the process of getting bids for new windows, just need to speed that up now.   

Wes is home after a weekend in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.  Glad to have him back.  I sleep better knowing he is here.  He said I was snoring so loud last night.  Probably due to the Ambien that I took.  Mama needed a good night's sleep:)
