Will's First Birthday Party

We celebrated Will's birthday with a small family party.  It was actually a double celebration as he shares his 11.11 birthday with his Granddaddy (my dad) who also celebrated a milestone birthday this year - number 80!
Attendees were Granddaddy and Nana, Aunt Sheila ("Aunt La La") and Uncle Robert, and David and Penelope.  We had hamburgers and two birthday cakes - one for each birthday.  :)

Dad counting the candles on his cake.  I put one for each decade - didn't want to melt the cake!  :)  He got a coconut cake - one of his all-time favorites.
