Although Ian's birthday was Oct. 26, this past weekend was the earliest that everyone could get together, so we celebrated on Saturday. All the kids were here (Lindsay and Troy from Indy and Drew and Elizabeth from Louisville) as were both sets of grandparents (one from KY and the other from Danville). Ian's great grandmother was even able to help us celebrate! Also, an aunt and uncle and 6 cousins! Such fun! It took Ian about 30 seconds to learn how to open the gifts and he loved them all - from the trucks, tractor and phone to the clothes to the Lite Brite and Magna Doodle. The only bad part was that he would barely get them out and start using them when we made him open another one. So, today he enjoying playing with them at his pace.
Tom and I have been so thankful, humbled and overwhelmed by the way our family has welcomed and embraced Ian into the "clan". He is loved more than he can even comprehend right now.

Monster truck from Troy and Lindsay (it rolls over anything and makes lots of noise, including some loud music that Ian loves to "dance" with.)
Opening some clothes, which he loves (he is very particular about what he wears!)
