Happy 1st Birthday Everett!

While Ev was officially a big 1 on the third of November his parents were able to get everyone together on the 13th for a nice party. Hard to believe it has been a year since the wild ride from Bryan to the hospital in Dallas for the little preemie.

Unfortunately for this occasion the little guy had just gotten a pretty bad ear infection and wasn't feeling in the party mood but we felt he needed a bit of good cheer. With numerous professional photographers in the family I shot only a few of the 1,000 or so of the birthday boy. Here's the view of the paparazzi from his perspective ... goo goo gaa gaa ...

And the sufficiently destroyed dragon cake ... the last fork driven home by Ev himself.

After the dragon slaying he got a bunch of really neat gifts which he was in awe of and actually perked up a bit.

And he and grandmom after the little guy was plum tuckered out from all the partying and crashed in her lap ...

Cool little guy with a lot of livin' yet to do ... Happy First and many more!!
