Happy 1st Birthday, Cousin Bren!



We had a fun trip to Chehalis to celebrate Mr. Brendan's 1st Birthday! He had a fun party, made a fun, mess tasting his cake, loved playing with, or rather "on" a balloon, and enjoyed some of his new toys! On his birthday he was starting to take some steps, and within no time, has taken off as a true "walker." We are so proud of him!





Brendan has changed so much in one year! Now he is surely "all boy" and "Stevens Boy" at that. While being physical and playing hard, he shares great goofy grins and seems to really go with the flow more that the girls did at that age. More recently we have started to notice more or Grandpa Mark in his appearance!

Clara enjoyed the party too.! Having just celebrated her own birthday, it was a bit of a challenge to recognize that it was Brendan's party, and that he got to be the center of attention, and I imagine with their birthdays so close, this might continue to be a challenge in the years to come.


And of course, there is big sister, Taylor! She is such a smart girl with a very spunky personality and Clara just adores her. Despite occasional spats about who gets the red chair or who gets to be Snow White, these sweet girls end up having such a fun time whenever they get together!
