Big Day!

We had quite a day today.  We started with Lincoln waking up from his first night in a "big boy bed" aka a twin bed.  He slept pretty well considering it was his first night.  He stayed in bed, but didn't like being alone in his room so mom laid down with him until he fell asleep.  I know, this cannot become the ritual!  We'll see how tonight goes :-).

Next was a delicious breakfast of biscuits and gravy at a friends house before we geared up to watch the Oregon Trail Days Parade in Tenino.  Lincoln was sleepy at first, but it was nothing that a little sugar high from a sucker couldn't solve!  In no time he was getting the hand of retrieving candy and putting it in his bag for safe keeping.  He tried to eat through the wrappers of a couple candies... 

Finally we ended the day with Presley's 1st birthday party.  The party theme was pink and green polka dots and it turned out adorable!  Kristin did a great job on the decorations.  Presley's cake was done by one of my friends (her blog is Party Cakes and she does an AMAZING job, check her out).  The weather was perfect and I'm pretty sure the birthday girl had a blast!
