Drew's First Birthday

Aiden's cousin Drew had his first birthday party Saturday afternoon (his birthday is actually the 11th) so it was a good opportunity for all the cousins to get together and play. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. Aiden needs about 10 minutes to observe and then he is good to go.


Their newest second cousin made his first family appearance too. Ethan Hand was born Monday to Aiden and Drew's cousin Meghan. As usual I took too many pictures so here are plenty for you to enjoy!

Aiden is not a big fan of shoes and if he sits down for a second, off they come.

These are his new size 7s.
