Oisín's First Birthday Party

Sunday July 12th we all headed for the Big Top- sans the big top itself, although I think that might have been the only thing missing from Oisín's circus birthday! Megg thought of everything...

Party Hats!

Birthday Crowns!

{though the birthday boy was none to fond of it,

in case his expression didn't give it away}

Horns!

Bubbles!











Cotton Candy! Popcorn!



Bunting!

even a Bouncy House!

and rides in Oisín's new Radio Flyer Car!

{these two crack me up!! Willy pushing Riley around,

then Miss Riley attempting to reciprocate, which as it turns out,

is a lot harder than it looks.

Keep pushing little girl!

After a little boost, they were on their way}

and who can forget the Cotton Candy!

You can't go to the circus and not have cotton candy, right?!

Even if you're an adult! Fun for the whole family!

Then it was time for the main event

Birthday Cake!

Though Oisín may not have liked the crown,

the cake surely made up for it!

Yaaay! :)

love that one-year-old-cake-covered-face!

And the proud Mama!

...who soon realized that wiping this boy off with a paper towel

was just not going to cut it.

into the kiddie pool!!

LOVING this hair!

he looks like a crazy clown

which is terribly appropriate, don't you think?

Then it was Uncle Danny's turn for some fun.

He let Willy sit on his motorcycle.

Willy was shy and timid at first,

which was amazing, since he's enamored with motorcycles

(or anything with wheels, for that matter)

But then he got into it :)

Round Two of Uncle Danny sponsored activities-

Racing the car down the (slight) hill!

Willy is by no means a dare-devil.

He's definitely his mother's son when it comes to some things.

Eyes closed. But huge toothy grin!

That smile could only be outdone by his sister :)

Little Miss Aila.

Getting so big. So many expressions.

Really smiling and giggling. Its amazing!

A little lovin' from her Nanny :)

Ok, this post has taken me nearly two weeks to put together. Too much going on to focus... and too many great pictures to make this any shorter. Hope you enjoyed the party. I certainly did :)

Happy 1st Birthday Oisín!!!
